JADE MOREIRA

Jade Moreira serves as a key procurement professional within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through the acquisition of specialized instrumentation, analytical services, and infrastructure solutions. Responsible for managing complex contracting actions under the Department of Commerce, Moreira focuses on securing advanced measuring and control devices, laboratory equipment, and professional technical services critical to oceanographic research, weather modeling, and coastal monitoring programs. Her acquisitions align with NOAA’s strategic priorities in data-driven environmental stewardship, ensuring the procurement of mission-critical technologies that enhance observational capacity and scientific integrity. Moreira maintains consistent working relationships with a select 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 balanced mix of academic, technical services, and environmental management vendors, indicating a preference for firms with proven expertise in scientific instrumentation, environmental compliance, and research support. Her contracting patterns suggest a reliance on established, technically capable partners capable of delivering high-precision equipment and specialized analytical services under stringent federal standards. Moreira’s procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 31% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to foster competition and expand opportunities for qualified small vendors in the environmental and scientific services sectors. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and related categories including 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in acquiring precision environmental sensors, data acquisition systems, and laboratory-grade equipment. She also frequently procures professional scientific services under 541990 and construction-related services under 238290 and 236220, underscoring a multidisciplinary approach to supporting NOAA’s operational and research infrastructure.
