Jackie A. Shewmaker

Jacquelyn A. Shewmaker serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through strategic acquisitions. While not a primary contracting officer, she plays a critical role in facilitating the execution of technical and operational contracts, particularly those tied to oceanic and atmospheric research, data systems, and coastal infrastructure support. Her work ensures alignment between scientific requirements and acquisition execution, bridging technical needs with federal procurement protocols to enable timely delivery of mission-critical services and equipment. Shewmaker maintains consistent engagement 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 mix of academic, environmental consulting, and technical services providers, indicating a preference for organizations capable of delivering specialized scientific, analytical, and field-based support. Her contracting patterns suggest collaborative, project-driven relationships often centered on research support, environmental compliance, and data acquisition systems. Her procurement approach prioritizes broad competition, with over 64% of actions conducted without set-asides, yet she actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (31.7%), reflecting NOAA’s commitment to socioeconomic inclusion. HUBZone and 8(a) set-asides are used sparingly but deliberately, indicating targeted support for underserved communities where specialized capabilities are needed. Shewmaker’s primary NAICS focus includes Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (541690), Surveying and Mapping Services (541370), and All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services (541990), underscoring her involvement in environmental data collection, geospatial analysis, and technical advisory services. She also engages with Search and Navigation Instrument Manufacturing (334511), highlighting her role in procuring oceanographic and atmospheric sensing technologies critical to NOAA’s operational forecasting and research missions.
