Jack Chansaviang

Jack Chansaviang serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurements that support the agency’s mission of environmental monitoring, oceanographic research, and climate resilience. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisition activities—from needs assessment and market research to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with NOAA’s scientific and operational priorities. His portfolio primarily encompasses technical services, environmental data systems, research support, and specialized instrumentation procurement critical to sustaining NOAA’s observational networks and predictive modeling capabilities. Chansaviang maintains established working relationships with a consistent cohort 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 focus on academic research institutions, environmental consulting firms, and technical service providers with proven expertise in marine science, data management, and environmental compliance. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure continuity in mission-critical operations. Notably, Chansaviang’s contracting activity reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This indicates a strategic alignment with procurement requirements that prioritize technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic targeting, though he remains committed to fair and transparent competition under FAR guidelines. His procurement focus centers on scientific and technical services supporting oceanic and atmospheric research, including data acquisition systems, environmental modeling tools, field instrumentation, and contractor-led field support operations. He routinely engages with vendors capable of delivering high-precision, mission-critical solutions in marine science, remote sensing, and climate data infrastructure, demonstrating deep domain expertise in federal environmental procurement.
