Teena Glasper

Teena Glasper serves as a key procurement lead within Job Corps Acquisition Services under the U.S. Department of Labor, overseeing the acquisition of critical facilities infrastructure to support nationwide Job Corps centers. Responsible for ensuring the operational readiness and physical compliance of residential and educational facilities for at-risk youth, Glasper manages a portfolio of construction and facilities support contracts aligned with federal building codes and safety standards. Her work directly enables the Department’s mission to deliver safe, functional, and sustainable training environments through strategic contracting for renovation, new construction, and essential building systems. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Glasper maintains a balanced procurement approach that engages both large-scale construction firms and small business vendors, fostering competitive bidding environments that prioritize technical capability and compliance. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to cultivate diverse vendor partnerships, ensuring reliable delivery of complex facilities services while maintaining accountability and transparency throughout the acquisition lifecycle. Glasper exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with half of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the remaining half awarded without set-aside status to ensure flexibility and market competitiveness. This balanced strategy supports robust small business participation without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines or quality benchmarks. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), reflecting deep expertise in the procurement of integrated building systems, structural renovations, and mechanical infrastructure upgrades. Glasper’s domain knowledge ensures that all acquisitions meet stringent federal facility standards, with particular attention to energy efficiency, ADA compliance, and long-term maintenance sustainability.
