Tracy Trickett

Tracy Trickett serves as a key procurement professional within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science and coastal resilience through strategic acquisitions. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on environmental consulting and facility support services, ensuring alignment with NOAA’s operational needs in marine research, data collection, and ecosystem monitoring. Her work directly enables scientific infrastructure and field operations by securing specialized technical services and essential maintenance support, bridging the gap between research objectives and contractor delivery capabilities. Trickett maintains consistent relationships with a select group 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 balanced approach to sourcing both institutional expertise and niche environmental services, with a preference for firms possessing proven experience in oceanographic support, environmental compliance, and facility operations. Her contracting patterns suggest a reliance on established vendors with demonstrated technical competence and reliable performance histories. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 40% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong commitment to socioeconomic diversity in vendor selection. While no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are dominant, her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small entities within NOAA’s mission-critical domains. Trickett’s primary focus lies in NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), where she procures scientific support, environmental impact assessments, and data analysis services, alongside NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services) to sustain operational facilities. This dual specialization underscores her role in supporting both high-tech research environments and the foundational infrastructure necessary for NOAA’s day-to-day mission execution.
