Lindy DeGering

Lindy DeGering serves as a key procurement professional within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science and coastal resilience through strategic acquisitions. She manages contracts for specialized technical services critical to NOAA’s operational and research functions, particularly in environmental monitoring, data analysis, and ecosystem assessment. Her procurement activities center on securing expert consulting services that enhance NOAA’s capacity to model climate systems, protect marine habitats, and support coastal infrastructure planning, aligning closely with the agency’s scientific and regulatory objectives. DeGering maintains consistent working relationships with a focused cohort 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 deep expertise in environmental science, data management, and policy-driven consulting. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term, performance-based engagements with vendors capable of delivering high-integrity technical support across complex marine and atmospheric domains. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic diversity, with approximately one-third of her awards set aside for Women-Owned Small Businesses and SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB), while the remainder remain open to full and open competition. This structured approach ensures equitable access for underrepresented small businesses while maintaining rigorous technical standards. Her primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), reflecting a strong demand for applied ecological research, environmental impact assessments, and coastal zone management support. A secondary emphasis on NAICS 541611 (Management Consulting Services) underscores her need for organizational efficiency and program evaluation expertise. DeGering’s portfolio is defined by technical rigor, environmental compliance, and a deliberate alignment with NOAA’s mission-critical science priorities.
