Susanna Wiedmann

Susanna Wiedmann serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical scientific and technical services supporting oceanic, atmospheric, and coastal research. Her role encompasses planning, soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts aligned with NOAA’s strategic priorities in environmental monitoring, data systems, and predictive modeling. She routinely handles complex service-based procurements requiring specialized technical expertise, particularly in data analytics, communications infrastructure, and environmental management solutions, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and agency mission objectives. Wiedmann maintains consistent partnerships with a focused group of contractors, including the 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 preference for organizations with proven capabilities in scientific communications, environmental consulting, and research support services. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established vendors with deep domain knowledge in NOAA’s technical domains, fostering long-term collaboration grounded in performance reliability and regulatory compliance. Her procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with an equal distribution between open competitions and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate effort to promote veteran-owned enterprise participation while maintaining competitive integrity. She actively leverages SDVOSB authorities to expand vendor diversity without compromising mission readiness or technical quality. Wiedmann’s acquisitions are concentrated in NAICS 519190 (Other Information Services) and 517919 (Other Telecommunications Services), underscoring her focus on data management platforms, environmental modeling software, and integrated communication systems that support NOAA’s observational networks. Her expertise lies in procuring advanced information services critical to real-time environmental data dissemination, remote sensing applications, and scientific collaboration tools essential to national climate and marine stewardship efforts.
