Teresa A. Harris

Teresa A. Harris serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing service-based acquisitions aligned with facility operations and maintenance needs. Her role centers on ensuring timely, compliant, and cost-effective delivery of essential support services critical to agency functions. She handles the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—primarily focusing on non-defense, facility-related services. Her work supports mission continuity by securing reliable vendors for routine operational needs, ensuring adherence to federal acquisition regulations and agency-specific procurement policies. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, Harris maintains a vendor ecosystem composed of service providers specializing in environmental and facility support sectors. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding under full and open competition, fostering a transparent procurement environment. She engages with a broad base of qualified vendors, prioritizing responsiveness, compliance, and service quality over sole-source arrangements, reflecting a preference for market-driven solutions. Harris consistently utilizes full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This pattern indicates a strategic focus on maximizing competition among all eligible firms rather than reserving awards for specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB concerns. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, her processes remain fully compliant with small business goals, allowing qualified firms to compete on equal footing without preferential treatment. Her procurement expertise is concentrated in two primary NAICS categories: Drycleaning and Laundry Services (812320), which accounts for two-thirds of her activity, and Exterminating and Pest Control Services (561710), representing the remainder. These reflect a specialized focus on facility hygiene, sanitation, and environmental health services. Harris demonstrates deep familiarity with service-level requirements, performance metrics, and inspection standards critical to maintaining clean, safe, and compliant operational environments.
