Alexandra Reed

Alexandra Reed supports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in executing strategic procurement initiatives aligned with its mission to advance environmental science and coastal resilience. Though her formal title is not specified, she plays a critical role in managing acquisitions for scientific and technical services that underpin NOAA’s data-driven operations, including modeling, environmental consulting, and specialized research support. Her procurement activities focus on securing high-value technical services essential to oceanic and atmospheric monitoring, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and agency priorities in climate science and ecosystem stewardship. Reed 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 preference for specialized firms capable of delivering niche scientific, technical, and environmental management services. Her contracting patterns suggest collaboration with both academic institutions and small, mission-aligned vendors experienced in applied environmental research and data systems. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with over 70% of awards directed toward small business set-asides—particularly 8(a) competed contracts (27.3%) and total small business set-asides (45.5%). Women-owned small businesses also receive targeted consideration, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden participation among underrepresented entrepreneurs in federal science contracting. Reed’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541940 (Veterinary Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), indicating a unique blend of biological data systems and software development needs. She routinely acquires services related to environmental modeling, bioinformatics, and scientific consulting, underscoring her technical expertise in supporting NOAA’s mission through advanced computational tools and interdisciplinary research partnerships.
