Teresa A. McCall

Teresa A. McCall serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, award, and contract administration. Her role is central to ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical supplies in support of agency operations. She specializes in non-personal services acquisitions, primarily focused on the manufacturing and distribution of animal food products, ensuring that procurement processes are transparent, competitive, and aligned with statutory obligations. McCall engages with a broad base of vendors across the animal food manufacturing sector, including both large-scale producers and niche suppliers specializing in pet food, livestock feed, and specialty animal nutrition products. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently fosters relationships with manufacturers capable of meeting stringent quality, safety, and regulatory standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes open competition and performance-based outcomes, encouraging vendors to demonstrate technical capability, supply chain reliability, and adherence to federal food safety protocols. Her procurement pattern reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides for socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This indicates a strategic focus on technical merit and operational capacity over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with agency priorities that prioritize product consistency and regulatory compliance. McCall’s primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 311119 — Other Animal Food Manufacturing — encompassing dry and wet pet food, livestock feed supplements, and specialty animal nutrition formulations. She possesses deep expertise in evaluating manufacturing capabilities, ingredient sourcing, and compliance with USDA and FDA standards. Her technical domain knowledge ensures that acquisitions meet rigorous safety and nutritional benchmarks, making her a key steward of animal health and welfare through strategic sourcing.
