Elliott Waxman

Elliott Waxman serves as a key procurement professional within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through targeted acquisitions of technical and analytical services. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on instrumentation, data systems, and environmental monitoring technologies, ensuring alignment with NOAA’s strategic priorities in oceanographic research, atmospheric modeling, and coastal resilience. His acquisitions typically involve complex scientific equipment, engineering services, and data management solutions critical to operational forecasting and ecosystem surveillance. Waxman maintains consistent 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 balanced approach between academic research institutions, specialized engineering firms, and environmental service providers, indicating a preference for collaborators with demonstrated expertise in environmental data systems, laboratory instrumentation, and compliance-driven field operations. His contracting patterns reveal a strong commitment to small business participation, with 55.6% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation through small and emerging vendors, particularly those qualified under socioeconomic programs, while maintaining flexibility for non-set-aside procurements when specialized capabilities are required. Waxman’s procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing), 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), 541330 (Engineering Services), 511210 (Software Publishers), and 811219 (Other Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance). These reflect deep technical expertise in procuring environmental sensors, data acquisition systems, scientific software, and field support services essential to NOAA’s observational infrastructure and research missions.
