Sabrina McIntyre

Sabrina McIntyre serves as a key procurement lead within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting mission-critical acquisitions aligned with environmental monitoring, oceanographic research, and coastal resilience initiatives. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on data systems, scientific instrumentation, and environmental services, ensuring alignment with NOAA’s mandate to advance Earth system science and support climate-informed decision-making. Her work directly enables the agency’s operational capacity through the acquisition of advanced technologies and specialized technical services critical to weather forecasting, marine ecosystem assessment, and environmental data infrastructure. McIntyre maintains consistent partnerships 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 relationships reflect a blend of academic, environmental services, and technical consulting vendors, many of which provide specialized expertise in environmental data management, hazardous waste handling, and communications infrastructure. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term collaboration with firms possessing domain-specific knowledge in marine and atmospheric sciences. A strong advocate for small business participation, McIntyre consistently prioritizes Small Business Set-Aside contracts under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of her awards designated for small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity-building among disadvantaged and underserved vendors, aligning with federal socioeconomic goals while enhancing competition and resilience in NOAA’s supply chain. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 517919 (Other Telecommunications Services), reflecting a heavy emphasis on data transmission, remote sensing infrastructure, and integrated communication systems for environmental monitoring. She also frequently procures services under NAICS 562112 (Hazardous Waste Collection), supporting NOAA’s environmental compliance and field operations. Her technical domain expertise centers on securing mission-enabling technologies that support real-time environmental data collection, analysis, and dissemination.
