Jennifer Andrews

Jennifer Andrews serves as a Contracting Officer within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), part of the U.S. Department of Commerce, where she manages complex procurement actions supporting critical environmental monitoring and data infrastructure. Her role centers on acquiring technical services and systems essential to NOAA’s mission of advancing oceanic, atmospheric, and coastal science, including data processing, cloud-based computing, and environmental compliance services. She executes full lifecycle acquisitions under FAR and agency-specific regulations, ensuring alignment with federal IT modernization goals and scientific operational requirements. Her portfolio primarily involves performance-based contracts for mission-critical information technology and environmental management solutions. Jennifer maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced 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 organizations with proven expertise in scientific data systems, environmental consulting, and federal IT infrastructure. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical proficiency, and compliance with federal standards for data integrity and cybersecurity. Jennifer’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical merit and operational readiness over socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing capability and scalability in mission-critical systems. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her acquisitions remain fully compliant with all federal socioeconomic requirements. Her primary NAICS focus areas are 518210 for computing infrastructure and data processing services and 811219 for other personal services, indicating deep specialization in cloud-hosted environmental data platforms, real-time sensor networks, and scientific support services. She procures advanced IT systems for oceanographic modeling, weather forecasting, and coastal resilience analytics, demonstrating strong domain expertise in federal scientific computing environments.
