Paige Young

Paige Young serves as a key procurement lead within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency’s Office of Contracting Services, supporting the agency’s mission to deliver timely, accurate geospatial intelligence for national defense and humanitarian operations. In this capacity, she manages the acquisition lifecycle for advanced geospatial technologies, including satellite imagery systems, geospatial analytics platforms, and cloud-based data infrastructure. Her work directly enables NGA’s strategic modernization goals by ensuring the timely procurement of cutting-edge tools that enhance intelligence collection, processing, and dissemination. She routinely handles complex, mission-critical contracts requiring stringent security clearances and compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards. Paige maintains a strong working relationship with ECS Federal, LLC, a trusted contractor with deep expertise in geospatial data processing, mission systems integration, and secure cloud environments. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in delivering scalable, high-integrity geospatial solutions under tight operational timelines. While she collaborates with a limited pool of primary contractors, her approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and sustained vendor accountability to ensure mission readiness. No formal set-aside preferences are currently documented in her procurement activity, and there is no public indication of targeted socioeconomic contracting programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB utilization. However, her consistent reliance on a core set of high-performing contractors suggests a focus on mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic targeting, though small business participation may occur within subcontracting arrangements not captured in primary award data. Her technical domain centers on geospatial intelligence systems, with procurement activities aligned to NAICS categories including 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), 541513 (Custom Computer Programming Services), and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services). She procures advanced imagery analysis software, AI-driven geospatial analytics tools, secure data fusion platforms, and geospatial infrastructure modernization services critical to NGA’s operational edge.
