Stephanie Mas

Stephanie Mas supports the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) in executing strategic procurement initiatives that advance scientific monitoring, environmental research, and operational infrastructure. While her official title is not disclosed, her procurement activities center on acquiring specialized analytical instruments, environmental services, and mission-critical support systems essential to NOAA’s mission of oceanic and atmospheric data collection. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions spanning laboratory equipment, field instrumentation, and facility maintenance services, ensuring alignment with federal contracting regulations and scientific operational requirements. Her contracting patterns reflect strong partnerships with a mix of small businesses and specialized service providers, including Tronconi Segarra & Associates LLP for environmental consulting, JNB Services LLC for technical support, Pure Enviro-Management, LLC for environmental compliance services, and the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board for educational and outreach infrastructure. She also engages academic institutions such as The Regents of the University of Colorado for research-driven solutions, indicating a preference for vendors with technical expertise in environmental science and data systems. Mas demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate effort to foster economic opportunity among qualified small firms. Her contracting approach consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs without reliance on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides, suggesting a focus on broad-based small business inclusion rather than targeted designations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334516 and 334519, indicating significant demand for analytical laboratory and environmental monitoring instrumentation, alongside sustained needs in janitorial and landscaping services (NAICS 561720 and 561730) to maintain NOAA’s field and laboratory facilities. This blend of high-technology and facility support acquisitions underscores her role in sustaining both scientific integrity and operational readiness across NOAA’s national infrastructure.
