Tyra Lassiter

Tyra Lassiter serves as a key procurement professional within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), supporting the agency’s mission to advance environmental science through technology-driven data systems. Responsible for managing complex acquisition strategies, Lassiter specializes in securing advanced computational services critical to oceanographic modeling, climate forecasting, and remote sensing operations. Her work directly enables NOAA’s scientific infrastructure by ensuring the timely procurement of mission-critical software development, data analytics, and systems integration services aligned with federal acquisition regulations and technical specifications for environmental research applications. Lassiter maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, 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 preference for institutional and technical service providers with demonstrated expertise in scientific computing, environmental data management, and research support services. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term, performance-based engagements with entities capable of delivering high-integrity, scalable solutions for NOAA’s operational and research environments. Lassiter’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, indicating a focus on technical capability and mission alignment over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her awards consistently go to vendors with proven technical proficiency in niche scientific domains, suggesting a value-driven selection process centered on performance, innovation, and domain expertise rather than socioeconomic preferences. Her primary acquisition focus is on NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing custom software development, data processing, algorithmic modeling, and cloud-enabled analytical platforms. Lassiter’s expertise lies in procuring advanced computational services that underpin NOAA’s observational networks, predictive modeling systems, and real-time environmental monitoring capabilities, ensuring the agency maintains cutting-edge technical infrastructure to support national weather, climate, and marine science objectives.
