Franklin Miles

Franklin Miles serves as Contractor Support within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), facilitating the acquisition of specialized technical services critical to the agency’s mission of environmental monitoring, climate research, and coastal resilience. In this role, he supports the end-to-end contracting lifecycle for professional and scientific services, ensuring alignment with federal procurement regulations and NOAA’s strategic priorities in data systems, environmental modeling, and oceanographic instrumentation. His responsibilities include coordinating requirements development, evaluating contractor proposals, and managing contract performance to deliver high-integrity scientific and technical solutions across NOAA’s operational divisions. Franklin maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of experienced 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 are primarily centered on high-complexity, non-manufacturing services requiring deep technical expertise in systems design, environmental research, and data analytics. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, leveraging long-term vendor engagement to ensure continuity in mission-critical scientific support. Franklin’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his process remains transparent and compliant with all federal acquisition standards, ensuring selections are driven by technical merit and mission alignment. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), accounting for 75% of activity, followed by NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in Physical Sciences) and NAICS 541990 (Other Professional Services). He routinely procures custom software development, environmental data systems, modeling platforms, and analytical services supporting NOAA’s weather forecasting, marine ecosystem monitoring, and remote sensing initiatives.
