Jack Hahne serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance scientific understanding of oceanic and atmospheric systems through strategic procurement of technical and analytical services. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for mission-critical IT and data infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and alignment with NOAA’s priorities in environmental monitoring, predictive modeling, and coastal resilience. His portfolio primarily encompasses complex service-based contracts requiring specialized technical expertise in data processing, cloud-enabled analytics, and scientific computing environments. Hahne maintains consistent working 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 blend of academic, nonprofit, and private-sector providers with proven capabilities in environmental data systems, software development, and operational support services. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and long-term vendor collaboration to sustain NOAA’s scientific operations. A significant portion of Hahne’s acquisitions—40%—are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong institutional commitment to small business participation. While the majority of his contracts remain open to all competitors, he actively prioritizes small business eligibility and encourages capable firms to compete for high-impact technical services.

His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers), underscoring his specialization in data analytics, web-hosted platforms, and custom software solutions supporting NOAA’s observational networks and modeling systems. He routinely procures services related to environmental data ingestion, real-time processing, and cloud-based visualization tools essential to weather forecasting and marine ecosystem research.
