Tamara Yockey

Tamara Yockey serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), supporting the agency’s mission to deliver timely, accurate, and actionable intelligence through strategic acquisition of technical and analytical services. She manages complex contracting actions focused on enhancing the intelligence workforce’s analytical capabilities and securing mission-critical technical infrastructure. Her portfolio centers on engineering and computer systems design services, ensuring that DIA maintains operational readiness through advanced, secure, and scalable solutions. She plays a vital role in aligning acquisition strategies with national security priorities, facilitating rapid procurement cycles for high-priority intelligence support requirements. Yockey collaborates with a broad range of defense and intelligence sector contractors specializing in systems engineering, cyber-enabled analytics, and secure software development. While no specific contractor names are publicly designated, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms possessing Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) clearances and experience in defense intelligence environments. Her working relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven track records in delivering classified technical solutions under strict compliance frameworks, including NIST SP 800-53 and DoD IL5 requirements. Her contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, reflecting a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. This underscores a procurement posture prioritizing mission urgency and technical proficiency, with no formal allocation to 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, she remains compliant with all statutory requirements and evaluates all offers based on technical merit and risk mitigation. Yockey’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), driving acquisitions for intelligence analysis platforms, data fusion systems, secure cloud architectures, and automated threat detection tools. Her technical domain expertise spans intelligence cycle support systems, geospatial analytics, and enterprise-level data management solutions critical to DIA’s operational mission.
