Jeanie M. Jennings

Jeanie M. Jennings serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through strategic acquisitions of technical, engineering, and environmental services. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of federal contracts under FAR Part 19 and Part 36, ensuring compliance with procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with NOAA’s priorities in oceanographic research, coastal infrastructure, and environmental remediation. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, construction, and environmental support contracts, requiring rigorous technical evaluation and performance-based contracting methodologies to deliver mission-critical outcomes. Jennings maintains consistent working relationships 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 balanced mix of academic institutions, specialized environmental firms, and engineering consultants, indicating a preference for vendors with proven expertise in scientific support, site remediation, and civil engineering services. Her contracting patterns suggest a focus on long-term, performance-driven engagements rather than transactional procurements. Her procurement approach prioritizes small business participation, with 44.1% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals. While no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences dominate, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for qualified small entities in environmental and technical service sectors. Jennings’ primary NAICS focus areas include Remediation Services (562910), Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (236220), Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction (237990), and Engineering Services (541330), reflecting her specialization in environmental cleanup, coastal and marine infrastructure, and technical consulting. Her acquisitions frequently support NOAA’s operational needs in ecosystem restoration, weather monitoring infrastructure, and water transportation support, requiring deep domain knowledge in environmental compliance and federal construction standards.
