Teresa Carrington

Teresa Carrington serves as a Senior Contracting Officer within GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service, Region 4, where she leads the acquisition of mission-critical information technology systems, communications infrastructure, and engineering support services for federal defense, aviation, and command-and-control programs. She is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurements—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations while advancing agency objectives for technological modernization and operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on integrated computing solutions, software development, and cybersecurity-enabled systems that sustain high-priority federal missions. Carrington maintains a strong working relationship with AMD International Technologies LLC, a key vendor providing advanced IT integration and technical services. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors capable of delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable solutions. She routinely collaborates with contractors who demonstrate proven expertise in defense-grade systems engineering and agile development methodologies, fostering collaboration through clear performance metrics and risk-managed contract structures. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Carrington consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with approximately two-thirds of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. Her socioeconomic contracting strategy reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms, aligning with GSA’s broader goals of inclusive economic growth and supplier diversity. She actively engages with small business outreach programs to ensure competitive, transparent opportunities. While specific NAICS codes are not available, her acquisitions are concentrated in advanced information technology, systems integration, and technical services supporting federal defense and aviation domains. She specializes in procuring software-defined networks, secure cloud platforms, embedded systems, and mission-critical software development services, demonstrating deep familiarity with DoD and federal IT modernization frameworks.
