Natasha

Natasha serves as a key procurement lead within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through the acquisition of advanced instrumentation, data systems, and operational services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on oceanic and atmospheric monitoring technologies, environmental data collection platforms, and supporting infrastructure, ensuring alignment with NOAA’s strategic priorities in climate resilience, marine ecosystem protection, and maritime safety. Her acquisitions typically involve complex technical systems requiring rigorous performance specifications and long-term maintenance support, often bridging scientific research needs with field-deployable hardware and software solutions. Natasha maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of contractors including Tronconi Segarra & Associates LLP, JNB Services LLC, and The Regents of the University of Colorado, reflecting a balanced mix of specialized engineering firms, environmental service providers, and academic research collaborators. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor engagement, particularly with firms capable of delivering customized instrumentation, data analytics services, and site-specific environmental support. She frequently collaborates with contractors possessing deep domain expertise in oceanographic sensor systems, meteorological instrumentation, and coastal monitoring technologies. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 58% of awards structured as small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively prioritizes socioeconomic programs, including service-disabled veteran-owned small business set-asides, and consistently integrates small business vendors into technical and service delivery roles across her portfolio. Natasha’s primary NAICS focus areas include manufacturing of nautical and industrial measurement systems (334511, 334513, 334519), alongside landscaping services (561730) and digital content publishing (511210), reflecting the broad operational needs of NOAA’s field missions. She specializes in procuring precision environmental sensors, data logging instruments, and site maintenance services critical to sustaining NOAA’s national observation networks and coastal resilience initiatives.
