Stephanie Dewitt

Stephanie Dewitt 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 diverse portfolio of contracts focused on data systems, environmental monitoring technologies, and scientific infrastructure, ensuring alignment with NOAA’s priorities in climate resilience, oceanographic research, and coastal stewardship. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and performance oversight—enabling the deployment of mission-critical tools that enhance predictive modeling and real-time environmental sensing. Dewitt 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 blend of academic, technical services, and environmental management expertise, with a focus on firms capable of delivering specialized software, systems integration, and field support for NOAA’s observational networks. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term collaboration with vendors possessing proven capability in scientific data management and environmental compliance. Her procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 90% of awards issued under no set-aside, while maintaining a deliberate 10% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This balance supports broad market access while ensuring small businesses contribute meaningfully to NOAA’s technical ecosystem. She does not favor specific socioeconomic categories but consistently structures opportunities to enable qualified small firms to compete on technical merit. Dewitt’s primary NAICS focus areas include Software Publishers (513210), Computer Systems Design Services (541512), and Electronic Computer Manufacturing (334111), reflecting her specialization in acquiring environmental data platforms, modeling software, and sensor-enabled hardware. She routinely procures cloud-based data analytics tools, real-time telemetry systems, and integrated environmental monitoring solutions that underpin NOAA’s scientific and operational missions.
