Ted Croushore

Ted Croushore serves as a Contract Administrator responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, including the FAR and agency-specific policies, while supporting mission-critical service delivery. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional and technical services, with a focus on information technology, environmental services, and communications solutions. Croushore works closely with program offices to translate operational needs into enforceable contract language, ensuring transparency, competition, and accountability in all procurement actions. Croushore maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships across multiple service sectors, engaging both large primes and small businesses in competitive bidding processes. He facilitates open market solicitations and fosters collaborative relationships with contractors delivering custom software development, hazardous waste management, telecommunications, and advertising services. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear statement of work definitions to drive accountability and outcomes. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently evaluates proposals based on technical merit, past performance, and compliance with federal standards. Croushore’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under non-set-aside authorities. This indicates a deliberate focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his award structure, he ensures all solicitations comply with the small business subcontracting requirements under FAR Part 19, maintaining a neutral but compliant stance toward socioeconomic goals. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), where he oversees software development and systems integration contracts. He also regularly procures services under NAICS 562112 (Hazardous Waste Collection), 517919 (Other Telecommunications), 541850 (Indoor and Outdoor Display Advertising), and 519190 (All Other Information Services). His expertise spans technical domains including IT modernization, environmental compliance, digital media, and data-driven communications, reflecting a diverse but specialized acquisition profile.
