Carina Nededog

Carina Nededog serves as a Contract Specialist 3 within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where she manages the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions supporting scientific research, environmental monitoring, and operational technology systems. Her role is central to advancing NOAA’s mission of Earth system observation and predictive modeling by ensuring timely, compliant, and strategic acquisition of specialized technical services and precision instrumentation. She routinely handles competitive solicitations under FAR and agency-specific guidelines, with a focus on professional consulting, sensor manufacturing, and data analytics solutions critical to oceanic and atmospheric research programs. Nededog maintains consistent procurement relationships with a core group of vendors 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 established technical service providers with proven expertise in environmental science, data systems integration, and regulatory compliance. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes and technical specificity, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in subject-matter alignment with NOAA’s operational needs. Nededog’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a primary emphasis on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her acquisitions remain fully compliant with all federal small business participation goals, and she actively evaluates small business capabilities as part of overall technical evaluations. Her primary NAICS focus is on Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (541690), followed by Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing (334519) and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990). She procures advanced environmental sensors, modeling software, field data collection systems, and specialized analytical services essential to NOAA’s climate resilience and marine ecosystem monitoring initiatives.
