Stephanie M Whiteley

Stephanie Whiteley 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 professional services. She manages a portfolio of contracts focused on scientific consulting, environmental monitoring systems, and specialized technical support critical to oceanic and atmospheric research. Her work ensures that NOAA’s data collection, modeling, and coastal resilience initiatives are enabled by high-quality, mission-aligned vendor solutions, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and scientific integrity standards. Whiteley maintains consistent 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 preference for specialized firms with expertise in environmental science, technical consulting, and instrumentation support. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a pattern of long-term, performance-based engagements with vendors capable of delivering niche scientific services and adaptive technical solutions tailored to NOAA’s operational needs. She exhibits a 100% commitment to small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, consistently directing acquisitions toward small business concerns without preference for specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This approach underscores a broad-based dedication to fostering competition and innovation among small, qualified providers in the environmental and technical services sectors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services) and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), reflecting a demand for expert analytical support, environmental modeling, and field data collection services. She also procures specialized measuring and control devices under NAICS 334519 and maintenance services under NAICS 811310, indicating deep engagement with instrumentation lifecycle management and operational support for NOAA’s observational infrastructure.
