Brenda Teachworth

Brenda Teachworth serves as a key procurement lead at NASA Kennedy Space Center, managing critical acquisitions that support the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize launch infrastructure and mission-critical systems. Her work centers on securing specialized industrial equipment and gas handling systems essential for rocket processing, propulsion testing, and environmental control at one of the nation’s primary spaceports. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance management—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-specific technical requirements. Her portfolio is heavily focused on high-reliability, safety-critical systems that enable safe and efficient launch operations. Teachworth maintains consistent working relationships with NUMUNU MARTINEZ JV, LLC and CINKA CONSTRUCTION & CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, both of which provide specialized engineering, construction, and systems integration services tailored to aerospace ground support infrastructure. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced contractors with proven technical capabilities in hazardous material handling, cryogenic systems, and facility modernization. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and long-term vendor reliability over short-term cost savings. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a focus on technical merit and capability rather than socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with federal small business goals through transparent, merit-based evaluation criteria. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325120 (Industrial Gas Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in acquiring high-purity gases, gas delivery systems, and associated safety controls critical for spacecraft fueling and environmental monitoring. Secondary categories include air and gas compressor manufacturing and pump equipment systems, underscoring her technical command over propulsion support infrastructure and fluid handling technologies essential to launch operations.
