Jessica Doten

Jessica Doten serves as a procurement professional within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting critical acquisitions that advance oceanic, atmospheric, and coastal science missions. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on technical services essential to environmental monitoring, data systems, and operational infrastructure. Her work directly enables NOAA’s core objectives in climate resilience, weather forecasting, and marine ecosystem protection by securing specialized expertise in instrumentation, data analysis, and systems integration. Doten typically handles complex service-based procurements requiring high technical precision and compliance with federal scientific standards. She maintains established relationships with a select group of contractors including Tronconi Segarra & Associates LLP, JNB Services LLC, Pure Enviro-Management, LLC, and The Regents of the University of Colorado, reflecting a preference for firms with demonstrated capability in environmental science, data management, and technical consulting. Her contracting patterns indicate sustained collaboration with vendors offering niche technical services, often requiring domain-specific knowledge in oceanographic instrumentation or environmental compliance. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagement and a focus on performance-driven outcomes. Doten’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with NOAA’s need for specialized, mission-critical expertise that may be limited in the small business marketplace. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, contractors of all sizes are evaluated on technical proficiency and past performance. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 333316 (Laboratory Equipment Manufacturing), supporting the acquisition of oceanographic and atmospheric sensors, followed by custom computer programming (541511), management consulting (541611), and photofinishing services (812921). This blend underscores her expertise in procuring both hardware for environmental data collection and the analytical services needed to interpret and operationalize that data, reinforcing NOAA’s mission to translate scientific observation into actionable intelligence.
