Tiffany Squyres

Tiffany Squyres 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 operational services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on surveying and mapping, environmental consulting, computer-related services, and specialized engineering support critical to oceanic and atmospheric research. Her work ensures the procurement of high-precision instrumentation, data collection systems, and analytical tools that underpin NOAA’s climate modeling, coastal resilience, and marine ecosystem monitoring efforts. She operates within a highly technical acquisition environment requiring compliance with federal procurement regulations and scientific mission alignment. Her primary contractor relationships include 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 domain expertise in geospatial analysis, environmental compliance, and applied research. She consistently engages vendors capable of delivering mission-critical services with rigorous technical standards, often requiring advanced certifications and proven experience in federal environmental contracting. Squyres’ contracting patterns show a strong orientation toward open competition, with 95.8% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. Only 4.2% of contracts are reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, indicating a targeted but limited emphasis on socioeconomic programs. Her approach prioritizes technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, though she maintains compliance with all applicable small business regulations. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 541370 (surveying and mapping), 541519 (other computer-related services), 333316 (navigation and marine instrumentation), 541620 (environmental consulting), and 336611 (shipbuilding and repair). These reflect a deep technical specialization in geospatial data systems, environmental modeling tools, and marine infrastructure support essential to NOAA’s operational and scientific objectives.
