Nicole Collins

Nicole Collins supports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in executing critical procurement activities aligned with its mission to advance environmental science and coastal resilience. Though her formal title is not listed, her procurement profile indicates a central role in managing technical service acquisitions, particularly those supporting the maintenance and calibration of precision scientific instrumentation, infrastructure systems, and operational support services essential to NOAA’s data collection and forecasting capabilities. She routinely handles complex contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 15, emphasizing performance-based requirements and technical specifications tailored to oceanic, atmospheric, and coastal monitoring systems. Her contracting portfolio is anchored by long-standing partnerships with specialized service providers including Tronconi Segarra & Associates LLP, JNB Services LLC, and Pure Enviro-Management, LLC, all of which deliver niche technical and environmental compliance services. She also collaborates with academic and public broadcasting entities such as the University of Colorado and Wisconsin Educational Communications Board, reflecting a preference for contractors with domain-specific expertise in environmental instrumentation, data systems, and facility maintenance. Her relationships suggest a pattern of sustained engagement with vendors capable of supporting mission-critical, low-volume, high-precision procurements. Collins demonstrates a strong orientation toward small business participation, with over 22% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating deliberate efforts to foster competition among qualified small firms. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are prominent, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a commitment to expanding opportunities for capable small businesses in technical service sectors. Her procurement focus is overwhelmingly concentrated in NAICS 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance), reflecting deep expertise in sustaining NOAA’s network of environmental sensors, meteorological instruments, and data acquisition systems. She also procures related services in HVAC, building construction, and professional technical services, demonstrating a multidisciplinary approach to maintaining the operational integrity of NOAA’s field and laboratory infrastructure.
