Marjorie A. Sabbagh

Marjorie A. Sabbagh serves as a Contract Officer for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where she manages the acquisition of specialized scientific instrumentation, environmental monitoring systems, and technical services critical to NOAA’s mission of oceanic and atmospheric research. Her portfolio encompasses complex procurements under FAR and FAR Part 15 procedures, with a focus on high-precision measurement devices, data acquisition systems, and field-deployable sensors used in marine, weather, and climate observation networks. She ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with NOAA’s strategic goals in environmental stewardship and predictive modeling. Sabbagh maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Tronconi Segarra & Associates LLP, JNB Services LLC, and The Regents of the University of Colorado, reflecting a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in environmental science, instrumentation calibration, and technical systems integration. Her contracting patterns reveal a reliance on vendors with niche technical capabilities in sensor development and data processing, often partnering with firms possessing deep domain knowledge in oceanographic and atmospheric instrumentation. Her procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 83.8% of awards issued without set-aside designations, while maintaining a meaningful commitment to small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (16.3%). She actively engages small businesses capable of delivering high-accuracy measurement systems and environmental management services, though she does not frequently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific authorities. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing) and 334513 (Industrial Process Instrumentation), underscoring her expertise in procuring sensors, telemetry systems, and control instruments used in NOAA’s field deployments. She frequently acquires custom-engineered devices for marine buoys, weather stations, and coastal monitoring platforms, demonstrating a technical command of environmental sensing technologies and their operational integration.
