Adam Terio

Adam Terio serves as a key procurement lead within the Program Executive Office for Intelligence, Electronic Warfare and Sensors (PEO IEW&S), supporting the U.S. Army’s modernization of advanced sensor, electronic warfare, and intelligence systems. He manages the acquisition lifecycle for engineering services critical to developing next-generation battlefield capabilities, including signal intelligence platforms, unmanned aerial system payloads, and multi-domain situational awareness architectures. His work directly enables the fielding of technologically superior systems that enhance overmatch in contested environments, aligning with the Department of Defense’s strategic imperative to accelerate capability delivery across land, air, and cyber domains. Terio routinely handles full-and-open, non-set-aside contracts under the engineering services umbrella, ensuring rapid prototyping and integration of cutting-edge technologies. Terio’s contracting activity is primarily directed toward defense prime contractors and specialized engineering firms with deep expertise in electronic warfare, sensor fusion, and signal processing. He maintains consistent working relationships with industry partners possessing proven track records in rapid development cycles, systems integration, and compliance with Army technical standards such as STANAGs and NETCENTS frameworks. His procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and agile acquisition methodologies to meet urgent operational needs. Terio’s portfolio reflects a 100% focus on full-and-open competition, with no set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This indicates a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences, consistent with the high-stakes nature of PEO IEW&S missions requiring specialized, non-duplicable expertise. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, technical analysis, prototype development, and integration of electronic warfare and intelligence systems. He procures services related to radar signal processing, jamming countermeasures, electro-optical/infrared sensor design, and data fusion architectures, demonstrating deep domain expertise in defense electronics and multi-domain sensor networks.
