Patrill Smith-Moody

Patrill Smith-Moody serves as a secondary procurement professional within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through strategic acquisitions. While not the primary contracting officer, Smith-Moody plays a critical role in facilitating the planning, solicitation, and administration of technical and operational contracts aligned with NOAA’s core priorities in marine research, coastal resilience, and environmental monitoring. Their work primarily supports the acquisition of environmental consulting services, facilities support, and engineering solutions that underpin NOAA’s data collection infrastructure and scientific operations. Smith-Moody 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 preference for specialized firms capable of delivering niche environmental analysis, field support, and technical engineering services. The working relationship pattern emphasizes collaboration with vendors possessing deep domain expertise in oceanic and atmospheric systems, often requiring compliance with federal environmental standards and scientific rigor. A pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting is evident in Smith-Moody’s portfolio, with 57.1% of acquisitions conducted under the 8(a) Competed program, demonstrating a strong emphasis on empowering small disadvantaged businesses. An additional 14.3% of awards are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reinforcing a deliberate strategy to broaden participation from underrepresented entrepreneurs in federal environmental contracting. The primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), reflecting a demand for expert environmental assessment, monitoring, and compliance support. Secondary categories include facilities support, engineering services, and specialized construction for coastal infrastructure, underscoring expertise in procuring science-driven, mission-critical services that enhance NOAA’s operational capacity and environmental stewardship.
