Gwendolynn Boyle

Gwendolynn Boyle serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance oceanic, atmospheric, and coastal science through strategic acquisition planning. While not the primary contracting officer, she plays a critical role in facilitating the execution of technical and operational contracts, particularly in support of maritime data systems and environmental monitoring infrastructure. Her work ensures alignment between scientific requirements and federal procurement regulations, with a focus on securing specialized services that enable NOAA’s research, forecasting, and coastal resilience initiatives. Boyle maintains consistent engagement 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 preference for academic institutions, environmental consultants, and niche service providers capable of delivering tailored solutions in oceanographic data systems and environmental compliance. Her contracting patterns suggest collaborative, relationship-driven procurement practices, often involving long-term, performance-based task orders rather than one-off purchases. She demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her supported acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity among small, disadvantaged, and locally based firms capable of supporting NOAA’s technical and environmental missions. Her contracting approach prioritizes socioeconomic equity while ensuring access to specialized expertise. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 488390 (Other Support Activities for Water Transportation), encompassing vessel support, marine logistics, and coastal infrastructure services, alongside NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) for data modeling, sensor integration, and environmental information systems. Her domain expertise centers on mission-critical technology and operational support for NOAA’s oceanographic and atmospheric observation networks.
