Jenna Taulman

Jenna L. Taulman serves as a primary procurement lead within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting mission-critical acquisitions aligned with environmental monitoring, oceanographic research, and atmospheric science infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning scientific instrumentation, laboratory services, and specialized technical support, ensuring alignment with NOAA’s strategic priorities in climate resilience and marine ecosystem protection. Her work directly enables the deployment and maintenance of advanced sensor systems, data collection platforms, and analytical tools essential to national environmental forecasting and coastal integrity programs. Taulman maintains consistent partnerships 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 relationships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing expertise in environmental management, technical consulting, and specialized instrumentation support. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term collaboration with vendors possessing niche technical capabilities, particularly in marine and atmospheric data systems, fostering reliable, mission-aligned service delivery. Taulman demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 42% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate her portfolio, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for qualified small firms in scientific and technical service sectors. Her contracting approach supports equitable access while maintaining high standards for technical performance and mission readiness. Her primary NAICS focus includes 541990 (professional and scientific services), 334516 (analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing), and 334511 (nautical and aeronautical system manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in procuring advanced environmental sensors, data acquisition hardware, and specialized testing equipment. She routinely sources solutions for oceanographic instrumentation, coastal monitoring systems, and laboratory analysis platforms, underscoring her technical proficiency in supporting NOAA’s scientific and operational missions.
