Quyen Diep

Quyen Diep serves as a Contracting Officer within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where she manages the acquisition of critical engineering services to support the agency’s mission of advancing oceanic, atmospheric, and coastal science. Responsible for full lifecycle contract administration, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering technical solutions that enhance environmental monitoring, predictive modeling, and data infrastructure. Her portfolio primarily consists of complex, performance-based contracts for scientific instrumentation, geospatial analysis, and systems integration, all aligned with NOAA’s strategic priorities in climate resilience and marine ecosystem protection. Diep maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of high-performing 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 preference for organizations with proven expertise in environmental engineering, data systems, and applied research. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, past performance evaluation, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure mission-critical deliverables meet rigorous scientific standards. Notably, Diep’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic classifications, aligning with NOAA’s need for specialized engineering talent that may be limited in the small business base. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains transparent and competitive, ensuring value and accountability across all awards. Her primary NAICS focus is 541330 (Engineering Services), underscoring her specialization in procuring professional engineering support for environmental monitoring systems, sensor networks, modeling platforms, and coastal infrastructure analysis. She consistently sources contractors with deep domain expertise in oceanographic instrumentation, atmospheric data processing, and geospatial engineering, ensuring NOAA’s scientific missions are enabled by technically sound, reliable, and scalable solutions.
