JACQUELINE LAVERDURE

Jacqueline Laverdure serves as a key procurement lead within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance oceanic and atmospheric science through strategic acquisition of technical and operational support services. She manages a portfolio of contracts focused on mission-critical infrastructure modernization, data systems integration, and field operations support, ensuring alignment with NOAA’s scientific and environmental stewardship goals. Her work directly enables the deployment of advanced instrumentation, fleet maintenance, and real-time environmental monitoring capabilities essential to national climate resilience and security. Laverdure maintains consistent working relationships with industry leaders such as L3Harris Technologies, Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, General Dynamics Information Technology, I.M. Systems Group, and Raytheon Company. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in marine systems, geospatial data platforms, and mission-critical IT services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term vendor collaboration, and technical compliance with federal maritime and environmental standards. She exhibits a strong, consistent commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity-building within the small business community, particularly among firms capable of delivering specialized support services to NOAA’s field and laboratory operations. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand socioeconomic opportunities while maintaining mission readiness. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services), encompassing a broad range of technical, logistical, and scientific support functions critical to NOAA’s operations. This includes vessel maintenance, sensor calibration, field data collection, environmental compliance assistance, and remote sensing system integration. Her domain expertise centers on marine and atmospheric science infrastructure, requiring deep familiarity with federal procurement regulations and technical specifications governing environmental monitoring systems.
