Pamela L. Stichweh

Pamela L. Stichweh serves as a Contracting Officer for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where she manages the acquisition of critical environmental, engineering, and scientific services supporting NOAA’s mission to advance oceanic, atmospheric, and coastal research and stewardship. She oversees the full lifecycle of procurements—from solicitation through contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with NOAA’s strategic priorities in climate resilience, marine ecosystem protection, and environmental data collection. Her portfolio primarily includes professional services contracts for environmental consulting, remediation, and heavy civil engineering projects essential to coastal infrastructure and scientific operations. Stichweh maintains longstanding relationships with a select group of contractors, including the 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 consistent preference for firms with specialized expertise in environmental science, engineering design, and remediation services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical capability, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate proven experience in complex, mission-critical environmental projects. Her procurement patterns show a strong commitment to small business participation, with 32% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate her portfolio, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for qualified small firms in environmental and engineering service sectors. Stichweh’s primary NAICS focus areas include Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, Environmental Consulting Services, and Remediation Services, reflecting her specialization in infrastructure and environmental compliance projects. She routinely procures technical services related to coastal zone management, hazardous material remediation, water quality monitoring, and environmental impact assessments, demonstrating deep domain expertise in federal environmental contracting and science-driven acquisition strategies.
