Juanita M Beck

Juanita M. Beck serves as a Purchase Agent for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through strategic procurement of technical, administrative, and operational services. In this role, she manages the acquisition lifecycle for non-construction contracts, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and aligning purchases with NOAA’s priorities in oceanographic research, climate monitoring, and coastal resilience. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, including management consulting, data analysis, and environmental support functions, enabling NOAA’s scientific and operational teams to deliver mission-critical outcomes. Beck maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse set 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, nonprofit, and private-sector vendors with specialized expertise in environmental management, research support, and administrative services. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical alignment, and long-term vendor collaboration to sustain NOAA’s data-driven operations. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with 34.6% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate focus on expanding opportunities for small businesses across socioeconomic categories. While no specific set-aside programs like 8(a) or HUBZone dominate her portfolio, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a proactive effort to foster competitive, inclusive sourcing. Beck’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services) and 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), reflecting her specialization in operational efficiency and program support services. She also procures marketing research (541910) and niche environmental management solutions (519190), indicating expertise in acquiring analytical, advisory, and sustainability-related services that underpin NOAA’s scientific and public service missions.
