Nicole Verway

Nicole Verway supports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in executing critical procurement actions aligned with the agency’s mission to advance environmental science and operational resilience. Though her official title is not specified, her procurement activities center on securing advanced computing infrastructure and data services essential to NOAA’s weather modeling, oceanographic monitoring, and coastal data systems. She manages acquisitions for high-performance computing platforms, cloud-based data processing, and real-time environmental data hosting services, ensuring the agency’s scientific and operational systems remain robust, scalable, and secure. Her work directly enables NOAA’s capacity to deliver accurate forecasts, support marine ecosystem research, and maintain national climate resilience capabilities. Verway maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of specialized 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 preference for institutions with proven expertise in environmental data systems, scientific computing, and mission-critical IT infrastructure. Her contracting patterns suggest a focus on long-term, technically complex engagements rather than transactional purchases, often involving integrated solutions that combine hardware, software, and analytical services. Her procurement portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a priority on technical capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic criteria, consistent with the specialized nature of NOAA’s technological requirements. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, her approach remains compliant with federal acquisition regulations and emphasizes performance-based outcomes. The overwhelming majority of her acquisitions fall under NAICS 518210, reflecting deep specialization in computing infrastructure, data processing, and web hosting services critical to NOAA’s real-time environmental monitoring systems. A smaller but notable portion of her portfolio involves NAICS 326299, indicating procurement of custom rubber-based components for marine instrumentation or sensor housings, underscoring her cross-domain expertise in both digital and physical environmental technologies.
