Christen Call

Christen Call supports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s procurement mission by managing complex acquisitions aligned with NOAA’s scientific and operational priorities. Though their official title is not specified, their contracting activities center on technology-enabled environmental monitoring systems, marine research infrastructure, and data acquisition platforms. They routinely handle competitive solicitations for custom software development, satellite communications, and specialized marine equipment, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and NOAA’s mission to advance oceanic and atmospheric science. Their work directly enables the agency’s capacity for climate modeling, coastal resilience planning, and real-time environmental data collection. Call maintains consistent partnerships with a diverse set of contractors, including WISCONSIN EDUCATIONAL COMMUNICATIONS BOARD for educational technology integration, TRONCONI SEGARRA & ASSOCIATES LLP for engineering and technical consulting, JNB SERVICES LLC for IT and systems support, PURE ENVIRO-MANAGEMENT, LLC for environmental compliance services, and THE REGENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO for research and development collaborations. These relationships reflect a balanced approach between academic institutions, small businesses, and specialized service providers, emphasizing technical expertise and mission alignment over scale. Their contracting patterns show a strong preference for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with one-third of awards reserved for small businesses, indicating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic inclusion. While no other set-aside categories dominate, their consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates active support for entrepreneurial firms capable of delivering niche technical solutions. Call’s procurement focus is evenly distributed across five key NAICS categories: custom computer programming, satellite telecommunications, computer storage device manufacturing, boat building, and other computer-related services. This reflects deep engagement in both digital infrastructure and physical marine systems, underscoring expertise in integrating software platforms with hardware systems for environmental observation and data transmission.
