Michael D. Myers

Michael D. Myers serves as a Contract Specialist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where he manages the acquisition of specialized scientific instrumentation, environmental monitoring systems, and research support services critical to NOAA’s mission of oceanic and atmospheric stewardship. He plays a pivotal role in ensuring timely and compliant procurement of high-precision equipment used in marine research, weather forecasting, and coastal resilience initiatives. His portfolio primarily encompasses complex technical acquisitions under FAR Part 15, including sealed bidding and negotiated contracts for analytical instruments, data collection platforms, and environmental management solutions. Myers maintains consistent relationships with a select group of vendors, 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, small business, and specialized service providers with proven expertise in environmental science, instrumentation, and operational support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional procurement. While the majority of his acquisitions (84.4%) are unrestricted, Myers demonstrates a meaningful commitment to small business participation, with 15.6% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He prioritizes socioeconomic opportunities for small businesses without mandating specific set-aside categories, allowing flexibility while fostering competitive engagement from qualified small vendors. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 334516 (Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing) and 334513 (Industrial Process Control Instrumentation), reflecting deep engagement with scientific equipment for water quality analysis, atmospheric sensing, and oceanographic data systems. He also frequently procures services under NAICS 532411 (equipment leasing) and 325414 (biological product manufacturing), underscoring his technical expertise in supporting NOAA’s field research and environmental monitoring operations.
