Responsible for managing technical acquisitions in cyber-enabled operations and mission-critical analytics, McGee oversees the sourcing of advanced information systems, data infrastructure solutions, and real-time decision-support tools. Their work directly enables cross-domain interoperability and the integration of next-generation intelligence architectures, ensuring operational readiness through agile, secure, and scalable IT services. McGee collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of defense contractors specializing in systems design, cybersecurity, and technical consulting services. While no single contractor dominates the portfolio, engagements typically involve firms with proven expertise in cloud-native C3I platforms, secure data analytics, and mission-critical software development.

McGee’s procurement strategy reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under no set-aside preferences. This approach prioritizes technical capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic classifications, though small business participation is not excluded—it is evaluated on merit within a fully competitive environment. The primary NAICS classification for McGee’s portfolio is 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing a broad range of technical consulting, systems integration, and mission support services. Procurements focus on advanced data engineering, AI-enabled analytics, cyber defense platforms, and infrastructure modernization for classified and unclassified environments, reflecting deep expertise in defense information systems and mission-critical IT modernization.
