Benny T. Terry

Benny T. Terry supports the Department of the Air Force’s mission to modernize critical infrastructure and enhance operational readiness through strategic procurement of mission-critical systems and services. Based at FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350, Terry manages acquisitions focused on facility modernization, secure communication systems, and fire safety infrastructure upgrades. Their role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting for technical and engineering services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with Air Force readiness objectives. Terry routinely handles complex solicitations for IT infrastructure, custom software development, and integrated electronic systems essential to sustaining defense installations. Terry maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade IT integration, facility construction, and technical consulting. The contracting patterns indicate a reliance on firms capable of delivering turnkey solutions for hardened infrastructure and secure data environments, with a focus on performance-based outcomes and long-term service sustainment. Set-aside preferences are heavily skewed toward open competition, with 81.3% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, a notable 18.8% of contracts are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation. While no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are evident, the consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a strategic alignment with broader DoD goals to broaden vendor diversity in defense procurement. The primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423430 (Computer and Computer Peripheral Equipment and Software Merchant Wholesalers), reflecting heavy demand for commercial-off-the-shelf hardware and integrated software platforms. Additional emphasis is placed on NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 511210 (Software Publishers), underscoring expertise in tailored software development and cybersecurity-enabled systems. Procurements also include professional services under NAICS 813920, indicating engagement with technical associations and specialized consulting firms supporting defense infrastructure modernization.
