Jerrod Schleis

Jerrod Schleis supports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in executing mission-critical procurement activities aligned with the agency’s scientific and operational objectives. Though his formal title is not specified, his procurement role centers on acquiring specialized instrumentation, environmental monitoring systems, and technical services essential to NOAA’s oceanic, atmospheric, and coastal research missions. He manages acquisitions for high-precision scientific equipment, laboratory analysis tools, and custom software solutions that enable data collection, modeling, and environmental forecasting. His work directly supports NOAA’s strategic priorities in climate resilience, marine ecosystem protection, and maritime safety through timely and technically sound contracting practices. Schleis maintains consistent relationships 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 partners provide niche expertise in environmental instrumentation, laboratory analysis, electrical installation, and applied research services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven technical capabilities in scientific and engineering domains, often engaging firms capable of delivering customized, mission-specific solutions under complex performance requirements. His procurement portfolio exhibits a strong orientation toward open competition, with 77.8% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences. Nevertheless, he actively supports small business participation, with 22.2% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach that prioritizes both competition and socioeconomic goals. Schleis primarily procures under NAICS codes 238210 (electrical and wiring installation), 334516 (analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing), and 334511 (nautical and aeronautical systems manufacturing), reflecting deep engagement with scientific instrumentation and environmental monitoring technologies. His expertise lies in acquiring precision measurement devices, data acquisition systems, and custom programming services critical to NOAA’s operational infrastructure and research capabilities.
