Joseph Feibel

Joseph Feibel serves as a key procurement professional within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through strategic acquisitions of technology, data systems, and analytical services. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with NOAA’s operational needs in oceanographic research, weather modeling, and coastal infrastructure monitoring, with a focus on acquiring advanced instrumentation, software platforms, and mission-critical IT services. His work ensures that scientific and operational teams have access to reliable, interoperable systems that enhance Earth system observation and predictive capability. Feibel 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 partnerships reflect a blend of academic, technical services, and specialized environmental consulting firms, indicating a preference for vendors with domain expertise in marine data systems, environmental compliance, and geospatial analytics. His contracting patterns suggest a reliance on established, mission-aligned partners capable of delivering complex, science-driven solutions under federal acquisition regulations. His procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with over 40% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable 2.1% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering socioeconomic diversity among vendors while maintaining technical rigor. He rarely employs non-set-aside mechanisms, underscoring a strong alignment with federal small business goals. Feibel’s primary NAICS focus includes computer and peripheral equipment wholesaling (423430), software publishing (511210), and other computer-related services (541519), indicating a heavy emphasis on data infrastructure, software development, and IT support services essential to NOAA’s scientific operations. His expertise lies in procuring systems that integrate real-time environmental data streams, support climate modeling, and enable coastal resilience planning.
