Gina E Lee

Gina E. Lee 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 acquisitions spanning professional services, data systems, and operational support, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and alignment with NOAA’s scientific and operational priorities. Her work directly enables the procurement of mission-critical tools for weather forecasting, marine ecosystem analysis, and coastal infrastructure assessment. Lee maintains established relationships with a range 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 balanced mix of academic institutions, environmental consultants, and specialized service providers, indicating a preference for firms with technical expertise in environmental science, data analytics, and operational support. Her contracting patterns suggest a focus on long-term, performance-based engagements rather than transactional purchases. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted competitions (70.7%), she demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her procurement strategy consistently prioritizes socioeconomic goals without compromising technical rigor or mission readiness. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 511210 (Software Publishers), 541990 (Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), and 813312 (Environment, Conservation, and Wildlife Organizations), underscoring her specialization in procuring scientific services, environmental consulting, and data-driven analytical solutions. She frequently supports projects involving environmental modeling, sensor deployment, and research collaboration, reflecting deep domain expertise in NOAA’s core scientific disciplines.
