Ashley Perry

Ashley Perry serves as a primary contracting professional within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting critical acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to advance oceanic, atmospheric, and coastal science. Responsible for managing complex procurement actions, Perry oversees contracts for specialized equipment, technical services, and infrastructure support essential to NOAA’s environmental monitoring and research operations. Their work directly enables the deployment of advanced instrumentation, data collection systems, and maritime assets critical to weather forecasting, marine ecosystem protection, and coastal resilience initiatives. Perry’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in engineering and technical procurement, with a strong emphasis on mission-critical hardware and systems integration. Perry maintains consistent working relationships with a core 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, small business, and specialized technical service providers, indicating a preference for vendors with demonstrated expertise in environmental instrumentation, marine logistics, and research support services. The contracting patterns suggest a collaborative, long-term approach to vendor engagement, prioritizing technical capability and mission alignment over volume-based procurement. Perry’s procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 41% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 2.3% reserved for Women-Owned Small Businesses. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, the consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to broaden vendor diversity and foster innovation through non-traditional contractors. The primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), reflecting substantial investment in vessel modernization, maritime platform upgrades, and oceanographic research vessel support. Secondary focus areas include Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing and specialized support services for air and marine operations, underscoring expertise in complex mechanical and environmental systems procurement.
