Patrice Anderson

Patrice Anderson serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through strategic acquisitions of critical services and equipment. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with NOAA’s operational priorities in marine research, coastal resilience, and environmental monitoring. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional, technical, and support services essential to sustaining NOAA’s field operations and data collection infrastructure. Anderson maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, 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 focus on specialized service providers delivering janitorial, environmental management, and scientific support services, often tailored to NOAA’s unique operational environments, including coastal stations and research vessels. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance accountability. A strong advocate for small business participation, Anderson consistently prioritizes small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately 91% of her awards designated for small businesses. This pattern underscores her commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals and fosters equitable access to federal opportunities for qualified small firms. Her procurement strategy actively leverages small business capabilities to meet mission-critical needs while promoting economic inclusion. Her primary NAICS focus is on Janitorial Services (561720), reflecting the need for facility support at NOAA’s field sites, followed by Scenic and Sightseeing Transportation, Water (487210) for vessel-based logistics, and specialized technical services under 541990. She also procures computer peripheral equipment (334118) to sustain data acquisition systems, demonstrating technical fluency across both operational and scientific domains critical to NOAA’s environmental stewardship mission.
