Anthony Webb

Anthony Webb serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through strategic acquisitions of technical and research-based services. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing primarily on research, data systems, and analytical support contracts. His work directly enables NOAA’s core functions in oceanographic monitoring, climate modeling, and coastal resilience by ensuring timely access to specialized scientific and technological capabilities. Webb maintains consistent relationships with a select group of contractors, including the 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, professional services, and environmental consulting firms that provide expertise in data analysis, environmental management, and technical systems development. His contracting approach emphasizes collaboration with organizations possessing domain-specific knowledge in marine and atmospheric sciences, often leveraging long-term, performance-based agreements to ensure continuity in critical research operations. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted under open competition (81.8%), Webb demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 18.2% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He actively seeks qualified small businesses capable of delivering specialized scientific and technical services, aligning with NOAA’s broader socioeconomic goals without relying on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 611310 (colleges and universities), reflecting a heavy reliance on academic institutions for research and data modeling; 334111 (electronic computer manufacturing) and 541519 (other computer-related services) for hardware and IT infrastructure; and 541511 (custom programming) for tailored software solutions. His technical expertise lies at the intersection of environmental science, data systems, and computational modeling, ensuring acquisitions align with NOAA’s mission-critical scientific objectives.
