Patrill Smith

Patrill Smith supports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in executing mission-critical procurement activities aligned with the agency’s scientific and operational priorities. Though their formal title is not specified, Smith plays a central role in managing acquisitions that enable NOAA’s core functions in environmental monitoring, data systems, and coastal resilience. Their portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services, data analytics platforms, and operational support contracts essential to sustaining NOAA’s observational networks and predictive modeling capabilities. Smith’s work ensures timely delivery of technical solutions that enhance oceanic and atmospheric research, weather forecasting, and ecosystem management. Smith 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 blend of academic research support, environmental compliance services, and specialized IT consulting. The contracting patterns indicate a preference for firms with proven expertise in scientific data management, environmental systems integration, and operational logistics, suggesting a focus on mission-aligned technical vendors rather than generalist providers. While the majority of acquisitions—75%—are conducted without set-asides, Smith demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 25% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic effort to foster innovation and capacity within the small business community, particularly among firms capable of delivering niche environmental and IT services to federal science agencies. The procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly focused on NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), indicating a strong emphasis on software development, data analytics, and systems integration for environmental monitoring. A secondary focus on NAICS 722310 (Food Service Contractors) suggests support for field operations and expeditionary missions requiring logistical and catering services in remote or coastal locations. Smith’s expertise lies in bridging technical requirements with operational needs across NOAA’s diverse scientific programs.
