Diana Fischer

Diana Fischer serves as a Contracting Officer for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where she manages the acquisition of technical services critical to advancing Earth system science and environmental monitoring. In this role, she oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions for complex, mission-critical systems, ensuring compliance with federal regulations while aligning acquisitions with NOAA’s strategic priorities in oceanographic research, weather forecasting, and coastal resilience. Her portfolio is heavily focused on computer systems design services, supporting the development and integration of data acquisition platforms, modeling tools, and scientific informatics infrastructure essential to NOAA’s operational and research missions. Diana 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 preference for established technical service providers with demonstrated expertise in environmental data systems, software development, and scientific computing. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and long-term service reliability over transactional vendor engagements. Diana’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a focus on open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her acquisitions remain fully compliant with all federal small business participation requirements, and she actively evaluates vendor capabilities based on technical merit and past performance. Her primary NAICS focus is 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), underscoring her specialization in procuring custom software development, data analytics platforms, simulation tools, and integrated environmental modeling systems. She consistently sources solutions that support real-time data processing, sensor network integration, and high-performance computing environments critical to NOAA’s scientific and operational missions.
