Meredith Johnson

Meredith Johnson serves as a secondary procurement contact within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through targeted acquisitions of critical technology and infrastructure. While not the lead contracting officer, she plays a vital role in facilitating the execution of acquisition strategies aligned with NOAA’s priorities in oceanic monitoring, climate resilience, and data-driven forecasting. Her responsibilities include coordinating contract documentation, managing vendor communications, and ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, particularly for technical systems supporting environmental sensing and computational modeling. Johnson 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 blend of academic research support, environmental compliance services, and specialized engineering expertise. Her procurement patterns indicate a preference for collaborative, mission-aligned vendors capable of delivering tailored solutions in environmental data systems and regulatory support services. She exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 100% of her assigned acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small business participation, ensuring that NOAA’s technological and operational needs are met through diverse, agile vendors aligned with federal small business goals. Her procurement focus is concentrated in two primary NAICS categories: 335910 (Battery Manufacturing) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services). These reflect NOAA’s reliance on high-reliability power systems for remote environmental sensors and custom software solutions for data processing, modeling, and visualization. Johnson’s expertise lies in acquiring mission-critical hardware and IT services that underpin NOAA’s observational networks and predictive analytics infrastructure.
