Stacy McAvoy

Stacy McAvoy 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. She manages a broad spectrum of contracts aligned with oceanographic research, atmospheric monitoring, and coastal infrastructure support, ensuring procurement activities align with federal standards and NOAA’s scientific priorities. Her work spans the lifecycle of complex acquisitions—from needs assessment and solicitation development to contract award and performance oversight—focusing on high-integrity data systems, environmental modeling tools, and field instrumentation essential to NOAA’s operational readiness. McAvoy maintains consistent 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 institutions with proven expertise in environmental data management, scientific consulting, and technical services delivery. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term collaboration with entities capable of delivering mission-critical solutions under stringent scientific and regulatory frameworks, often involving multi-year performance-based agreements. Her procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic criteria, prioritizing the most qualified offerors regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her portfolio remains open to qualified small firms that meet rigorous technical requirements. Though NAICS codes are not currently available, her acquisitions consistently target domains such as environmental data systems, oceanographic instrumentation, climate modeling services, and scientific research support. Her expertise lies in procuring advanced sensor technologies, remote sensing platforms, and analytical software critical to NOAA’s Earth observation and predictive science missions.
