Janet M. Hannah serves as a Contracting Officer within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where she manages complex procurement actions supporting scientific research, environmental monitoring, and coastal resilience initiatives. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing NOAA’s mission to enhance understanding of oceanic and atmospheric systems through advanced instrumentation, data analytics, and technical services. She routinely handles acquisitions for professional consulting, research support, and specialized telecommunications solutions, often coordinating with academic institutions and technical service providers to deliver mission-critical capabilities. Hannah maintains consistent working 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 preference for organizations with proven expertise in environmental science, data systems, and technical advisory services. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term collaboration with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency, regulatory compliance, and alignment with NOAA’s scientific objectives. Her procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 88.9% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, reflecting a focus on technical merit and mission fit over socioeconomic categorization. Nevertheless, she consistently supports small business participation, with 11.1% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both competitive integrity and broad vendor access. Hannah’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS codes 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting demand for specialized environmental modeling, data interpretation, and field support. She also frequently procures services under 611310 (Colleges and Universities) and 517410 (Satellite Telecommunications), underscoring her expertise in managing research collaborations and advanced remote sensing infrastructure essential to NOAA’s operational and scientific missions.
