Anne A Lunsford

Anne A. Lunsford serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through strategic procurement of critical services and infrastructure. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions—from requirements development and market research to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR, agency-specific regulations, and federal socioeconomic mandates. Her portfolio primarily focuses on operational and support services essential to NOAA’s mission-critical activities, including data systems, environmental monitoring, and facility management. Lunsford maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of established 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 organizations with demonstrated expertise in environmental compliance, scientific support services, and public-sector program administration. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements. Notably, Lunsford’s procurement activity exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with agency priorities that prioritize technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic targeting, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business regulations and maintains transparency in sourcing. Her primary NAICS classification is 721110 (Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels), indicating a specialized focus on lodging and hospitality services to support NOAA’s field operations, research expeditions, and personnel stationed at remote coastal and marine facilities. This niche specialization underscores her expertise in procuring mission-enabling accommodations that meet federal standards for safety, accessibility, and operational continuity in austere environments.
