Jason M Gerloff

Jason M. Gerloff 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 critical infrastructure and technical services. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research to contract award and administration, ensuring compliance with FAR and agency-specific policies. His portfolio primarily encompasses construction, utility infrastructure, and professional architectural services essential to NOAA’s research facilities, coastal monitoring stations, and operational sites. Gerloff’s work directly enables the agency’s capacity to collect and analyze oceanic and atmospheric data, underpinning climate resilience and maritime safety initiatives. Gerloff maintains consistent working relationships with a focused 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 preference for experienced firms capable of delivering complex, mission-critical infrastructure and environmental compliance services. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and long-term performance, often re-engaging vendors with proven track records in federal environmental and construction projects. Gerloff’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing technical capability and value rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with NOAA’s need for specialized expertise in high-stakes environmental infrastructure. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, he ensures all solicitations are structured to encourage broad market participation in accordance with federal transparency standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 221122 (Electric Power Distribution), and 541310 (Architectural Services). These categories support the design, construction, and utility integration of NOAA’s field laboratories, data centers, and coastal observation platforms, requiring deep technical knowledge in sustainable building practices, electrical grid integration for remote sites, and compliance with federal environmental design standards.
