SECAF Executive Briefing - NOAA Update



The Small and Emerging Contractors Advisory Forum (SECAF) is pleased to announce its upcoming Executive Briefing – an in-depth update on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) procurement opportunities and NOAALink’s on-ramp efforts. NOAALink's principal purpose is to improve IT acquisition practices across the bureau.  It also aims to establish enterprise-wide solutions, standardize common technology products and services, and leverage purchasing power to achieve the most significant cost advantages possible.

NOAA is the largest bureau in the U.S. Department of Commerce and devotes half of its budget to acquisition and financial assistance. The contracts and grants awarded by NOAA address some of the United States’ most critical environment and science priorities.

Speaker and Presenter Information

Speakers from NOAA will include Mitchell J. Ross, Director of the Acquisition and Grants Office and Jeffrey Hale, Small Business Officer. Ross began his service with the bureau in 2002 and, after multiple assignments, assumed his current leadership role. Hale's background, which also includes positions at the Department of Agriculture and the Small Business Administration, covers all aspects of Federal acquisition, as well as intricate knowledge of small business programs and policies.
