Dawn Albertini

Dawn Albertini serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurements that support oceanic, atmospheric, and coastal research and monitoring initiatives. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with NOAA’s strategic priorities in environmental science and climate resilience. Her portfolio primarily encompasses scientific instrumentation, data collection systems, environmental modeling services, and technical support contracts essential to NOAA’s operational and research missions. Albertini maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse set 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 small business entities engaged in environmental data management, field instrumentation, ecological assessment, and technical consulting. Her procurement approach emphasizes collaboration with organizations possessing domain-specific expertise in marine and atmospheric sciences, fostering long-term vendor engagement grounded in technical capability and mission alignment. While no formal set-aside data is available, her contractor base suggests a strong inclination toward small business and non-traditional partners, including educational and research institutions that often qualify under socioeconomic programs such as HUBZone or SDVOSB. Her contracting patterns indicate a deliberate effort to leverage specialized capabilities from niche vendors rather than relying solely on large defense or IT contractors. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS categories related to scientific research and development, environmental consulting, and advanced instrumentation manufacturing. She routinely acquires services and equipment for oceanographic sensors, weather observation systems, coastal monitoring infrastructure, and data analytics platforms, demonstrating deep technical fluency in environmental science procurement and a commitment to advancing NOAA’s mission through innovative, mission-driven contracting.
