Denise Rogers

Denise Rogers serves as a Purchasing Agent for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where she plays a critical role in executing procurements that support the agency’s mission of environmental monitoring, oceanographic research, and climate resilience. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisition actions spanning professional services, training, and administrative support, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and alignment with NOAA’s scientific and operational priorities. Her work directly enables the agency’s capacity to collect, analyze, and disseminate critical environmental data through strategic sourcing of specialized expertise and support services. Denise maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, 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 entities with proven capabilities in environmental science, training delivery, and operational support. Her contracting patterns indicate a focus on long-term, performance-based engagements with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency and institutional familiarity with NOAA’s mission-critical workflows. Denise’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on small business participation, with 28.2% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, she consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses, aligning with federal socioeconomic goals without favoring specific set-aside categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her approach balances competitive fairness with meaningful access for qualified small firms. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services) and 541620 (Professional and Management Development Training), indicating deep engagement with environmental science consultants and training providers who support NOAA’s workforce development and research initiatives. She also procures administrative services including office support and event coordination, ensuring seamless operational continuity across NOAA’s scientific programs.
