Robert Sherbondy

Robert Sherbondy serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), part of the Department of Defense, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurements that support the agency’s mission to deliver timely, accurate geospatial intelligence. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for technical services and specialized equipment, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and NGA’s strategic priorities in geospatial data modernization, analytical infrastructure, and mission-critical technology deployment. His work directly enables the collection, processing, and dissemination of intelligence through advanced systems and analytical platforms. Sherbondy maintains a strong working relationship with ECS Federal, LLC, a primary contractor providing mission-support services across geospatial analytics and IT modernization. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity vendors with proven expertise in defense and intelligence environments, while also engaging with smaller firms for niche technical capabilities. He consistently collaborates with contractors who demonstrate robust cybersecurity compliance, agile development methodologies, and experience with classified geospatial systems. His procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on non-set-aside acquisitions, with approximately 82% of awards awarded without socioeconomic set-asides. Small business participation is present but limited, with total small business set-asides accounting for just over 10%, and women-owned small businesses representing a modest 7% of awards, indicating a primary focus on technical merit and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences. Sherbondy’s NAICS focus centers on Other Computer Related Services (541519), reflecting demand for software development, data analytics, and systems integration. He also regularly procures services under Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990), Computer Equipment Wholesaling (423430), and specialized instrumentation (334515), underscoring his expertise in acquiring advanced geospatial sensors, data processing tools, and mission-enabling IT infrastructure critical to NGA’s operational success.
