Adrienne Leary

Adrienne Leary serves as a key procurement professional within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through strategic acquisitions of technical services and specialized infrastructure support. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on environmental monitoring, data systems, and operational maintenance, ensuring alignment with NOAA’s priorities in oceanographic research, coastal resilience, and atmospheric observation. Her acquisitions typically involve service-based contracts requiring technical expertise in environmental compliance, laboratory support, and site-specific operations, often tied to field research and data collection initiatives. Leary maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including Wisconsin Educational Communications Board, Tronconi Segarra & Associates LLP, JNB Services LLC, Pure Enviro-Management, LLC, and The Regents of the University of Colorado. These partnerships reflect a blend of academic, environmental services, and niche technical vendors, suggesting a preference for firms with domain-specific capabilities in ecological management, regulatory compliance, and scientific support services. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established, repeat vendors with proven experience in federal environmental programs and site-specific operational requirements. A strong commitment to small business participation characterizes Leary’s procurement approach, with approximately two-thirds of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity within the environmental services sector and prioritize vendors certified under small business programs. Her contracting patterns consistently channel opportunities to small firms capable of delivering specialized, localized support aligned with NOAA’s field-based operations. Her primary NAICS focus areas—Landscaping Services (561730), Other Building Equipment Contractors (811219), and All Other Basic Organic Chemical Manufacturing (325199)—reveal a unique blend of environmental site management, facility maintenance, and chemical handling services critical to NOAA’s coastal and marine research infrastructure. These categories underscore her expertise in procuring services that sustain operational readiness at field stations, laboratories, and sensitive ecological sites.
