Norma Spray

Norma Spray supports the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency in managing critical procurement activities that sustain and modernize the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. Though her official title is not listed, her procurement role centers on acquiring technical services essential to securing, expanding, and interoperating military-grade telecom networks. She routinely handles complex acquisitions for computer facilities management, custom programming, and other IT-related services that enable resilient, high-capacity network operations across defense and federal missions. Her work ensures that legacy systems are replaced with secure, scalable solutions aligned with DISA’s strategic modernization goals. Spray maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These vendors provide specialized capabilities in secure network deployment, fiber infrastructure, and mission-critical IT support. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established firms with proven experience in defense telecom environments, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and performance-based service contracts to ensure operational continuity and technical compliance. A defining feature of Spray’s procurement strategy is her exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting. Every acquisition she manages is reserved for small businesses, fostering innovation and capacity-building within the defense technology ecosystem. This approach ensures broad participation from diverse small business concerns, including those certified under HUBZone, 8(a), and WOSB programs, even when not explicitly required. Her technical focus lies squarely within NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming), 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services), and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting deep expertise in procuring software development, network operations support, and managed IT infrastructure. She consistently sources solutions that enhance cybersecurity, virtual private network deployment, and interoperability across DoD networks, aligning procurement with DISA’s mission to deliver secure, agile communications for national defense.
