Laurie Davis

Laurie Davis serves as a Contracting Officer within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where she manages the acquisition of critical scientific and technical services to support oceanic, atmospheric, and coastal research missions. Her portfolio centers on engineering services and specialized electronic component procurement, ensuring NOAA’s operational capabilities in environmental monitoring, data collection, and predictive modeling remain robust and technologically current. She plays a pivotal role in executing full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation to award and contract administration—aligning acquisitions with federal regulations and NOAA’s strategic priorities in climate resilience and marine stewardship. Davis maintains established relationships with a consistent 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 preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in environmental engineering, data systems integration, and scientific instrumentation. Her contracting patterns indicate a focus on long-term, performance-based collaborations with vendors capable of delivering complex, mission-critical technical solutions under stringent scientific and regulatory standards. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted without set-asides, she consistently allocates approximately 20% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a structured commitment to small business participation. Her approach prioritizes competition among qualified small businesses without compromising technical rigor, aligning with NOAA’s broader goals of inclusive procurement and workforce development in the environmental sciences. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing environmental modeling, geospatial analysis, and oceanographic instrumentation design, with a secondary emphasis on NAICS 334419 (Other Electronic Component Manufacturing) for specialized sensors and data acquisition hardware. Her technical domain expertise spans environmental monitoring systems, remote sensing platforms, and climate-resilient infrastructure components, making her a key steward of NOAA’s scientific procurement ecosystem.
