Jackie S Smith

Jackie S. Smith serves as a Procurement Technician within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the acquisition of critical infrastructure and specialized services essential to NOAA’s mission of environmental monitoring and coastal resilience. In this role, Smith facilitates the execution of competitive solicitations, ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and coordinates with technical stakeholders to align procurement actions with operational needs. Their work primarily supports construction, maintenance, and support activities for NOAA’s physical infrastructure, including research facilities, coastal stations, and maritime operations sites, ensuring timely and compliant delivery of goods and services under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types. Smith maintains consistent working relationships with a core 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 small business vendors and institutional providers delivering specialized construction, environmental management, and technical support services. Smith’s procurement approach emphasizes clear solicitation language, rigorous evaluation criteria, and proactive vendor engagement to foster reliable, high-quality deliverables aligned with NOAA’s scientific and operational goals. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Smith’s contracting patterns, with 75.6% of awards designated for total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While 8(a) and other socioeconomic programs are used sparingly, the consistent prioritization of small business eligibility demonstrates a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and stimulate local economic development in support of federal procurement equity goals. Smith’s procurement focus centers on NAICS categories including 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 238160 (Roofing Contractors), and 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), reflecting a technical domain expertise in facility maintenance, structural upgrades, and site-specific environmental remediation. Additional activity in 488390 (Water Transportation Support) underscores engagement with maritime infrastructure services critical to NOAA’s coastal and oceanographic operations.
