Sally Bockh

Sally Bockh serves as a Contracting Officer within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical technical services to support oceanic, atmospheric, and coastal research initiatives. Her portfolio centers on procuring custom software development, data modeling systems, and scientific instrumentation integration that underpin NOAA’s environmental monitoring and predictive analytics capabilities. As a key procurement lead for the agency’s scientific infrastructure, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract outcomes with NOAA’s strategic goals in climate resilience and marine ecosystem stewardship. Bockh maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized 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 firms with proven expertise in environmental data systems, scientific programming, and research support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term collaboration with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency in NOAA’s operational domains, fostering reliable delivery of high-integrity software solutions and analytical platforms. Bockh’s procurement activity is exclusively conducted under full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects a mission-driven focus on securing the highest technical capability available, regardless of vendor size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all procurements adhere strictly to FAR guidelines and competitive fairness principles. Her primary acquisition focus is concentrated in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), where she procures tailored software applications for environmental data processing, remote sensing analysis, and modeling systems used in weather forecasting and marine resource management. Her expertise lies in acquiring complex, science-driven IT solutions that support NOAA’s real-time operational needs and long-term research objectives.
