Roberta B. Rodrigue

Roberta B. Rodrigue serves as a Contract Officer within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), part of the Department of Defense, where she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions supporting geospatial intelligence missions. Her portfolio encompasses technical services critical to modernizing NGA’s data infrastructure, including advanced analytics, systems integration, and geospatial software development. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with NGA’s strategic imperatives in intelligence delivery, technology modernization, and operational readiness. Rodrigue typically handles performance-based, service-oriented contracts requiring high levels of technical expertise and security clearance coordination. Rodrigue maintains a strong, recurring partnership with ECS Federal, LLC, a key contractor providing mission-critical geospatial and analytical support. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, high-capacity vendors with proven capabilities in defense-grade systems, while maintaining flexibility for emerging technology providers. She engages contractors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, emphasizing performance metrics, cybersecurity compliance, and data integrity standards aligned with DoD and NGA directives. Her set-aside preferences are predominantly non-set-aside, with approximately 85.7% of awards issued under full and open competition. However, she consistently reserves 14.3% of opportunities for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but active commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines or technical requirements. Rodrigue’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 511210 (Software Publishers), 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), and 541720 (Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities), reflecting her specialization in geospatial software, data analytics platforms, and intelligence support services. She frequently procures cloud-enabled geospatial tools, AI-driven imagery analysis systems, and secure data fusion architectures, underscoring her deep technical domain expertise in defense-oriented geospatial intelligence and next-generation data infrastructure.
