Joseph Greene

Joseph Greene serves as Branch Chief within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), overseeing the strategic acquisition of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to the agency’s mission of environmental monitoring, climate resilience, and oceanographic research. In this role, he directs the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts that support advanced data collection systems, predictive modeling tools, and coastal infrastructure assessments. His procurement activities align with NOAA’s scientific priorities, ensuring that technical services meet rigorous federal standards for accuracy, scalability, and interoperability across federal and academic research networks. Greene maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of high-capacity contractors, including the 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 specialized expertise in environmental data analysis, scientific consulting, ecological modeling, and operational support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, mission-aligned vendors with proven technical capabilities in oceanic and atmospheric sciences, often leveraging long-term cooperative agreements and performance-based task orders. Notably, Greene’s portfolio exhibits a 100% non-set-aside contracting profile, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects a strategic focus on technical excellence and mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic targeting, prioritizing vendor qualifications and domain expertise above socioeconomic classifications. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing environmental consulting, remote sensing analysis, hydrographic survey support, and climate adaptation planning. Greene specializes in acquiring high-integrity scientific services that underpin NOAA’s operational forecasting, ecosystem monitoring, and coastal resilience initiatives, ensuring acquisitions align with federal standards for data integrity and scientific rigor.
