The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency is looking toward small business to provide vital technologies as the agency confronts budget constraints. Enticement efforts include targeted outreach, reshaped acquisition patterns and improved networking among potential contractors. The relationship between small business and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) is growing, says Sandra Broadnax, the small business director for the NGA. "We're doing a lot more to embrace and bring industry to the table so that they can better understand our processes," she states. The agency is looking toward small business "because of their skills, capabilities and efficiencies that they can bring to the agency," Broadnax says. The NGA's outreach effort extends far beyond the Beltway to seek skill sets around the country.
