Keisha Teixeira

Keisha Teixeira serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize Air Force operational readiness through strategic acquisition of professional and technical services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts centered on systems engineering and technical assistance, enterprise IT modernization, and mission-critical analytics, ensuring alignment with Air Force readiness priorities. Her acquisitions focus on high-value administrative, management, and technical consulting services that enable efficient force structure optimization and mission execution. Teixeira maintains strong, recurring partnerships with leading providers such as SIGMATECH, INC. and Purdue University, reflecting a preference for established contractors with deep domain expertise in defense-related technical support and research. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term, performance-based engagements that integrate subject-matter expertise with agile delivery models. These relationships are characterized by sustained collaboration across multiple contract vehicles, indicating a trust-based procurement approach that prioritizes institutional knowledge and mission continuity. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately 31.3% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 18.8% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. While half of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to foster small business participation and diversify the contractor base within the defense technical services ecosystem. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (administrative and management consulting) and 541614 (logistics and process consulting), complemented by significant investment in professional training services under NAICS 611430 and 611420. She routinely acquires specialized services in systems engineering, enterprise IT modernization, cybersecurity readiness, and workforce development training—domains critical to sustaining Air Force technological advantage and operational resilience.
