Meredith Eaton

Meredith Eaton serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance scientific understanding of oceanic and atmospheric systems through strategic procurement of technical services. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for information technology and data systems critical to environmental monitoring, predictive modeling, and research infrastructure. Her portfolio primarily encompasses IT services supporting data processing, cloud-based computing platforms, and scientific software development, ensuring NOAA’s operational systems remain secure, scalable, and aligned with federal IT modernization standards. Meredith maintains consistent working relationships with a core 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 established providers with demonstrated expertise in environmental data systems, computational modeling, and scientific IT support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work definitions, and rigorous compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Meredith’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her process remains transparent and compliant with all federal small business participation goals, ensuring equitable access for all qualified vendors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), with significant activity in 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers). She specializes in acquiring custom software development, data analytics platforms, web-hosted environmental modeling tools, and managed IT services that support NOAA’s mission-critical research and forecasting operations.
