Tamalia Adams

Tamalia Adams serves as a key procurement professional within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance scientific understanding of oceanic, atmospheric, and coastal systems through strategic acquisitions of technical and analytical services. She manages a portfolio focused on scientific and technical consulting contracts that enable data-driven environmental monitoring, predictive modeling, and ecosystem assessment. Her work directly supports NOAA’s operational priorities in climate resilience, weather forecasting, and marine resource management by ensuring timely access to expert analytical capacity and research support services. Adams maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Tronconi Segarra & Associates LLP, JNB Services LLC, Pure Enviro-Management, LLC, and The Regents of the University of Colorado. These entities provide high-level scientific consulting, environmental data analysis, and technical advisory services critical to NOAA’s research and operational workflows. Her contracting patterns reflect long-term, performance-based engagements with firms possessing deep domain expertise in environmental science and technical systems, indicating a preference for proven, mission-aligned vendors capable of delivering complex, non-commodity services. Adams’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit and specialized capability over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with NOAA’s need for highly qualified scientific consultants who can meet rigorous technical requirements without restriction. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 541690—Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services—where she procures expert services in oceanographic modeling, atmospheric data interpretation, environmental impact assessment, and coastal systems analysis. These acquisitions support NOAA’s scientific infrastructure, enabling evidence-based decision-making across marine conservation, climate adaptation, and hazardous weather response initiatives.
