Jacquelyn K. Shewmaker serves as a Contracting Officer within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where she manages the acquisition of specialized scientific, technical, and infrastructure services critical to NOAA’s mission of environmental monitoring, climate resilience, and oceanic research. She oversees the full lifecycle of federal contracts, from requirements definition and solicitation to award and performance management, ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific procurement policies. Her portfolio primarily supports advanced instrumentation, environmental data systems, and technical services that enable NOAA’s observational networks and predictive modeling capabilities. Shewmaker maintains consistent relationships with a select group 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 blend of academic research institutions, specialized technical service providers, and environmental compliance contractors, indicating a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in scientific support, environmental remediation, and specialized engineering services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor collaboration. A strong advocate for small business participation, Shewmaker consistently prioritizes small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with over half of her awards designated for small businesses. Her procurement patterns reflect a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs, frequently leveraging small business set-asides to foster innovation and broaden vendor diversity within NOAA’s technical supply chain. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (other professional, scientific, and technical services), 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors), and 334519 (other measuring and controlling device manufacturing). This underscores her specialization in procuring environmental monitoring systems, climate-resilient infrastructure upgrades, and precision instrumentation essential to NOAA’s operational and research missions.
