Timothy Wampler

Timothy Wampler serves as a Contract Specialist within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), where he plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that advance the agency’s mission of environmental monitoring, oceanographic research, and climate resilience. He manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions, primarily in scientific research, environmental consulting, and specialized technology services, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and alignment with NOAA’s strategic priorities in data collection, modeling, and coastal infrastructure support. His work directly enables the procurement of mission-critical systems that enhance Earth system observation and predictive capabilities. Wampler maintains consistent relationships with a select 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 partnerships reflect a blend of academic, environmental, and technical service providers, with a recurring emphasis on firms capable of delivering specialized research, environmental compliance, and custom software solutions. His contracting patterns indicate a preference for established, technically proficient vendors with proven capacity in scientific and data-driven domains. A significant portion of Wampler’s portfolio—45.6%—is structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, underscoring a strong commitment to small business participation. While no other socioeconomic set-asides dominate his awards, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity-building within the small business community, particularly in niche scientific and environmental service sectors. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541712 (Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences), followed by Custom Computer Programming Services (541511) and Environmental Consulting Services (541620). These categories reflect his expertise in acquiring advanced scientific instrumentation, data analytics platforms, and environmental compliance services, positioning him as a key procurement lead in NOAA’s technical and research-driven operations.
