Suzanne Romberg-Garrett

Suzanne A. Romberg-Garrett 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, operational, and support services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with NOAA’s core priorities in oceanographic research, atmospheric monitoring, and coastal resilience, typically overseeing solicitations for professional scientific services, environmental consulting, and facility support functions. Her work ensures that mission-critical capabilities—from data collection systems to ecosystem assessments—are delivered through compliant, efficient contracting practices that align with federal acquisition regulations. Romberg-Garrett maintains consistent working relationships with a range 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 blend of academic, niche technical service providers, and small business vendors delivering specialized environmental, engineering, and operational support. Her contracting patterns emphasize collaborative, performance-based engagements that prioritize technical expertise and mission alignment over volume-driven procurement. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate her portfolio, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small firms in scientific and technical service sectors. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Janitorial Services, All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services, and Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services, indicating a heavy emphasis on support functions critical to NOAA’s field operations and research infrastructure. She routinely procures environmental management, laboratory services, data analysis, and facility maintenance solutions, reflecting deep expertise in supporting science-driven, mission-critical government operations.
