Cheryl A. Coxen

Cheryl A. Coxen serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science and coastal resilience through strategic procurement. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for professional services, with a focus on environmental consulting, management advisory, and hospitality-related support services critical to field operations and administrative infrastructure. Her work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract vehicles with NOAA’s scientific and operational priorities, including data collection systems, research support, and coastal program logistics. Coxen maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select 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 service providers with demonstrated expertise in environmental analysis, operational management, and technical support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional engagements. Her procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While she does not prioritize designated small business categories, her awards frequently support firms with specialized technical capabilities essential to NOAA’s mission-critical functions. Coxen’s primary NAICS focus areas are 721110 (Hotels and Motels), 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services), and 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services). She procures accommodations for field personnel, scientific advisory services, and environmental impact assessments, reflecting NOAA’s operational need for both logistical support and expert technical consultation in marine and atmospheric sciences. Her domain expertise lies at the intersection of environmental compliance, field operations logistics, and performance-driven service acquisition.
