Jacqueline S Wright

Jacqueline S. Wright serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through strategic procurement of technical services and infrastructure solutions. She manages the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions under FAR and NOAA-specific guidelines, with a focus on professional, scientific, and construction-related contracts that enable oceanic research, atmospheric monitoring, and coastal resilience initiatives. Her portfolio includes complex procurements for laboratory instrumentation, custom software development, and commercial building construction, ensuring alignment with NOAA’s scientific and operational priorities. Wright maintains established relationships with a diverse set 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 balanced approach to sourcing expertise across academia, specialized environmental consulting, and technical services firms. She fosters collaborative vendor engagement, prioritizing firms with demonstrated capability in environmental data systems, analytical instrumentation, and facility modernization to support NOAA’s mission-critical operations. Her contracting patterns reveal a strong emphasis on small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 2.8% allocated to 8(a) and HUBZone programs. This reflects a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic diversity and equitable access to federal opportunities, ensuring that small, disadvantaged, and community-based firms contribute meaningfully to NOAA’s scientific infrastructure. Wright’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 for commercial building construction and NAICS 541511 and 541512 for custom computer programming and systems design services, alongside 334516 for analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing. She specializes in acquiring technology and infrastructure that supports environmental data collection, modeling systems, and research facility enhancements, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with the scientific tools and services underpinning NOAA’s environmental stewardship mission.
