Noemi Cordova Vazquez serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, where she manages acquisitions critical to securing the nation’s defense industrial base. Her responsibilities include overseeing the sourcing of personnel vetting services, cybersecurity support tools, and information technology platforms that enable secure access to classified systems. She plays a central role in executing the agency’s mission to modernize background investigation workflows and enhance digital infrastructure resilience, primarily through competitive contracting processes that align with national security standards. Her portfolio is dominated by services requiring high-level clearance, strict compliance with federal security protocols, and integration with existing government identity and credentialing systems. Cordova Vazquez maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including SWISH DATA CORPORATION, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, SPATHE SYSTEMS LLC, ROCKWOOD COMPANY LLC, and IDEMIA IDENTITY & SECURITY USA LLC. These vendors provide specialized capabilities in identity verification, biometric authentication, background investigation automation, and secure data management. Her procurement approach emphasizes proven performance, technical reliability, and adherence to DoD cybersecurity frameworks, fostering long-term partnerships with firms that demonstrate deep domain expertise in counterintelligence and personnel security operations. Her contracting activity shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on capability and compliance over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing the most qualified vendors regardless of business size or certification status. While small businesses are not formally targeted, their participation is not excluded, and awards are based strictly on technical merit and operational readiness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 519290 (Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services), 561611 (Investigation and Personal Background Check Services), and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), reflecting a strong emphasis on digital identity management, automated vetting systems, and specialized security consulting. She routinely procures advanced analytics platforms, secure data pipelines, and biometric-enabled credentialing solutions that underpin the agency’s mission to safeguard national defense assets.
