Courtney Woodley

Courtney Woodley serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance scientific understanding of oceanic, atmospheric, and coastal systems. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions for research, technical services, and specialized equipment, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and alignment with NOAA’s strategic priorities in environmental monitoring, data collection, and marine research. Her portfolio primarily includes scientific and technical services contracts, with a focus on R&D, testing laboratories, and oceanographic instrumentation procurement. Woodley maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including the 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, nonprofit, and private-sector vendors with demonstrated expertise in environmental science, marine technology, and field data acquisition. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term collaboration with vendors who bring technical credibility and operational reliability to NOAA’s mission-critical projects. Her contracting patterns reveal a strong preference for non-set-aside acquisitions at 66.7%, while maintaining a consistent 33.3% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance underscores her commitment to fostering competition while ensuring broad access for small businesses without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a) or HUBZone. Her approach supports equitable opportunity while maintaining programmatic integrity. Woodley’s primary NAICS focus areas include 541712 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences), 541380 (testing laboratories), 336612 (boat building), 541990 (other professional scientific services), and 541370 (surveying and mapping). She routinely procures specialized services such as oceanographic sensor calibration, coastal mapping, environmental sampling, and vessel modification—reflecting deep technical expertise in marine and atmospheric research domains.
