Shannon Falconi

Shannon Falconi serves as a key procurement professional within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through strategic acquisitions of technical and operational services. Responsible for managing complex contracts aligned with NOAA’s research, monitoring, and infrastructure needs, Falconi specializes in procuring advanced information technology, satellite communications, and facility systems that enable data collection, modeling, and coastal resilience initiatives. Their acquisitions directly support NOAA’s scientific operations, ensuring the agency maintains cutting-edge capabilities in oceanic and atmospheric observation systems. Falconi 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, specialized environmental management, IT services, and infrastructure contracting. The contracting pattern indicates a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in scientific support services, particularly those capable of delivering integrated solutions for data systems and environmental compliance. Falconi’s procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 29% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity-building among qualified small firms in the environmental and technology sectors. The primary NAICS focus areas reflect deep technical specialization: 57.1% of acquisitions fall under 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), emphasizing software development, data analytics, and systems integration; 28.6% under 517410 (Satellite Telecommunications), supporting NOAA’s satellite data downlink and communication infrastructure; and 14.3% under 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), indicating procurement for facility upgrades at research and operational sites. This blend highlights expertise in mission-critical IT and environmental systems procurement.
