Casey Morrison

Casey Morrison supports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in executing mission-critical procurements aligned with scientific research, environmental monitoring, and coastal resilience initiatives. While their formal title is not listed, their procurement activities center on acquiring advanced instrumentation, data collection systems, and analytical services essential to NOAA’s oceanic and atmospheric observation networks. They manage acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation to ensure technical rigor, compliance, and timely delivery of capabilities that underpin weather forecasting, marine ecosystem studies, and climate modeling efforts. Morrison maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Wisconsin Educational Communications Board for educational and outreach infrastructure, Tronconi Segarra & Associates LLP for environmental consulting and surveying services, JNB Services LLC for technical support, Pure Enviro-Management, LLC for environmental compliance solutions, and The Regents of the University of Colorado for research and development collaborations. These relationships reflect a preference for niche, science-driven vendors capable of delivering high-integrity data systems and field-deployable technologies tailored to NOAA’s operational environment. Their contracting strategy equally prioritizes small business set-asides and open competitions, with 50% of acquisitions designated for small business participation under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach ensures broad vendor access while maintaining competitive rigor, fostering innovation from economically disadvantaged and community-based firms without compromising mission requirements. Morrison’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 541715 for physical and engineering research and development, particularly in environmental modeling and sensor development, followed by NAICS 541370 for geospatial surveying and mapping services critical to coastal zone mapping and bathymetric analysis. They also procure specialized electrical components under NAICS 335999 for ruggedized instrumentation used in marine and atmospheric platforms. Their expertise lies in bridging scientific needs with procurement execution, ensuring acquisitions align with NOAA’s technical and operational imperatives.
