Joni Teter

Joni Teter serves as a Sustainability Subject Matter Expert within the Special Contracting Branches A and B of the Federal Acquisition Service’s General Services Administration, where she provides critical technical guidance on environmental compliance and sustainable procurement practices. Her role is integral to ensuring that logistics, warehousing, and industrial support contracts align with federal sustainability mandates, including energy efficiency, waste reduction, and environmental stewardship standards. She supports the acquisition of specialized services that enhance operational readiness for defense and civilian missions, particularly in overseas and contingency environments, with a focus on lifecycle environmental impact assessments and green supply chain solutions. Teter maintains consistent working relationships with a focused group of contractors, including COMMUNICATION LOGIC LLC, LC INDUSTRIES INC, and FSR CONSULTING LLC, all of which specialize in environmental consulting and industrial sustainability services. These partnerships are characterized by deep technical collaboration, with vendors providing expertise in environmental remediation, regulatory compliance, and sustainable facility operations. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor engagement based on demonstrated technical proficiency and alignment with federal sustainability goals, rather than volume-based contracting. Teter’s acquisition portfolio reflects a strict preference for open, non-set-aside competitions, with 100% of her contracts awarded without socioeconomic set-asides. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and environmental expertise over socioeconomic classifications, though small business participation remains possible through unrestricted avenues. Her contracting patterns indicate a deliberate focus on merit-based selection grounded in performance history and specialized environmental knowledge. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), encompassing environmental site assessments, sustainability planning, hazardous material management, and green infrastructure design. She consistently sources services that support federal compliance with NEPA, RCRA, and EPA guidelines, demonstrating deep expertise in environmental regulatory frameworks and industrial sustainability best practices.
