Teresa A, Itri

Teresa A. Itri serves as a Contract Specialist within the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Region 3, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions for national security and defense IT programs. She is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurements under FAR and FAR Part 37, with a focus on professional services, enterprise IT modernization, and cybersecurity-enabled systems. Her work directly supports the agency’s mandate to deliver secure, scalable, and resilient digital infrastructure to federal defense and civilian stakeholders, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition policy while advancing strategic modernization goals. Teresa collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, primarily large prime contractors and systems integrators experienced in defense-grade IT modernization, cybersecurity architecture, and legacy system sustainment. While no specific vendor relationships are publicly identified, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms possessing DHS CDM, NIST 800-53, and FedRAMP compliance capabilities. She fosters collaborative contracting relationships grounded in performance-based service agreements and outcome-driven deliverables, emphasizing accountability and risk mitigation. Teresa’s contracting portfolio reflects a strict focus on open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted as non-set-aside procurements. This indicates a preference for full and open competition to ensure access to the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical and security demands of national security missions. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, her approach remains compliant with all socioeconomic requirements and does not preclude qualified small businesses from competing. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 928110 (National Security), encompassing classified and unclassified IT services, cybersecurity operations, infrastructure modernization, and mission-critical systems integration. She specializes in procuring services that enhance the resilience of defense IT ecosystems, including network modernization, zero-trust architecture implementation, and secure cloud migration initiatives, demonstrating deep technical fluency in federal cybersecurity and defense IT domains.
