Roger Arangorin

Roger Arangorin serves as a key procurement professional within the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), supporting the acquisition of advanced geospatial intelligence capabilities critical to national security and defense operations. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on research and development, analytical systems, and professional technical services that enhance the tradecraft of intelligence analysts. His work directly supports NGA’s mission to deliver timely, accurate geospatial intelligence through cutting-edge software development, imagery interpretation systems, and data analytics platforms. Arangorin routinely handles complex, high-impact acquisitions requiring deep technical expertise in geospatial science and systems integration. His contractor relationships are primarily with professional services firms specializing in geospatial analytics, systems engineering, and scientific research. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with firms possessing strong capabilities in remote sensing, geospatial modeling, and intelligence workflow automation. He fosters collaborative, performance-based contracting relationships with vendors capable of delivering tailored solutions under tight operational timelines, often requiring security clearances and compliance with NGA’s stringent data integrity standards. Arangorin’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 85.7% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, he maintains a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 14.3% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing technical excellence while ensuring opportunities for qualified small businesses in the geospatial and professional services sectors. His primary NAICS focus areas include 541715 for R&D in physical and engineering sciences and 541990 for specialized technical services, indicating deep engagement in geospatial algorithm development, sensor data fusion, and analytical tooling. He also procures administrative management consulting services (541611) and, to a lesser extent, recreation-related support services (713990), suggesting a broad operational support scope aligned with NGA’s mission-critical workforce needs.
