Eileen Emond

Eileen Emond supports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s procurement mission by managing technical acquisitions critical to environmental monitoring and data systems. Though her formal title is not listed, her contracting activities center on advanced instrumentation, software development, and energy systems essential to NOAA’s oceanic and atmospheric research operations. She routinely handles complex procurements for scientific sensors, data acquisition platforms, and mission-critical software solutions that enable real-time environmental modeling and coastal resilience initiatives. Her work directly supports NOAA’s strategic priorities in climate science, marine ecosystem observation, and weather forecasting infrastructure. Emond maintains consistent partnerships with a focused 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 relationships reflect a preference for specialized vendors with proven expertise in environmental instrumentation, regulatory compliance, and research support services. Her contracting patterns suggest a reliance on firms capable of delivering customized, high-precision solutions for field-deployed systems and data integration platforms, often requiring rigorous technical validation and long-term maintenance support. A strong commitment to small business participation characterizes her procurement approach, with approximately two-thirds of her awards set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation through agile, niche vendors while ensuring broad socioeconomic inclusion across the federal contracting landscape. Her pattern of avoiding set-asides in one-third of awards indicates flexibility to source mission-critical capabilities from larger, specialized firms when small business capacity is insufficient. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334515 (instrument manufacturing for electrical signals), 335910 (battery manufacturing), and 513210 (software publishing), underscoring expertise in power systems for remote sensors, data acquisition hardware, and environmental modeling software. She consistently acquires technologies that enable autonomous oceanic and atmospheric data collection, emphasizing reliability, energy efficiency, and interoperability with NOAA’s national observation networks.
