Tedra Thompson

Tedra Thompson serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Sigonella Naples Office, supporting the operational readiness of U.S. Navy and Department of Defense forces across the Mediterranean. Responsible for managing complex acquisition programs, Thompson specializes in securing critical sustainment services for naval vessels, including overhaul, repair, and modernization, alongside logistics and facility support contracts. Their work directly enables fleet availability by ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical services through compliant, performance-based contracting under FAR and DFARS frameworks. Thompson routinely handles service-based acquisitions requiring technical oversight, contractor performance monitoring, and integration with naval engineering and maintenance commands. Thompson maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors, including TERRESTRIS, LLC, RA INTERNATIONAL FZCO, and ALLIUM US HOLDING LLC, reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in international logistics, technical support, and defense infrastructure services. These partnerships are characterized by long-term contract performance, repeat award patterns, and a focus on contractors with demonstrated expertise in expeditionary operations and Mediterranean theater requirements. The procurement approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and mission alignment over volume-driven sourcing. Set-aside preferences show a strong inclination toward open competition, with 83.3% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. The remaining 16.7% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured but intentional commitment to small business participation without prioritizing 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific programs. This pattern suggests a focus on capability and readiness over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the agency’s operational urgency. Thompson’s procurement portfolio is dominated by NAICS 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services), reflecting heavy reliance on technical advisory and program management support. Additional focus areas include NAICS 485113 and 485510 for ground transportation logistics, and NAICS 517121 for telecommunications resourcing. This underscores deep expertise in sustaining mission-critical infrastructure through integrated service procurement, particularly in command, control, communications, and mobility support domains.
