Sarah Corey

Sarah Corey supports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in executing mission-critical procurement activities aligned with environmental science and operational resilience. Though her official title is not specified, she plays a central role in managing acquisitions for professional, scientific, and technical services essential to NOAA’s oceanic, atmospheric, and coastal research programs. Her work encompasses the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements definition to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing NOAA’s strategic priorities in climate modeling, marine ecosystem monitoring, and coastal infrastructure protection. She routinely handles complex, non-construction service contracts requiring specialized technical expertise and data-driven deliverables. Corey maintains consistent partnerships 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 relationships reflect a preference for academic institutions, environmental consulting firms, and specialized technical service providers capable of delivering analytical, modeling, and field-based support. Her contracting patterns suggest a reliance on long-term, performance-based engagements rather than transactional procurement, indicating deep collaboration with vendors who understand NOAA’s scientific and operational environments. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of contracts are unrestricted, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small firms in environmental science and technical services sectors, aligning with federal socioeconomic goals. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting demand for interdisciplinary research support, data analysis, and environmental compliance services. Secondary categories include computer systems design and other IT-related services supporting NOAA’s observational networks and predictive modeling platforms, underscoring her expertise in procuring technology-enabled scientific solutions for federal environmental missions.
