Teresa D. Leong

Teresa D. Leong serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Ceu OAKLAND(00088) office, overseeing acquisitions critical to sustaining maritime infrastructure and operational readiness. She manages a portfolio centered on civil engineering and site preparation contracts that support dredging, land acquisition, and base resilience initiatives across the nation’s coastal and inland waterways. Her work directly enables the Coast Guard’s mission to ensure navigational safety, port security, and environmental compliance through infrastructure modernization. Leong routinely handles complex, high-impact construction and engineering procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring alignment with national defense and homeland security priorities. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, Leong maintains consistent partnerships with firms specializing in heavy civil construction and site development, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in technical proficiency and regulatory compliance. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in marine engineering, environmental remediation, and federal construction standards. She engages both large prime contractors and specialized subcontractors to deliver integrated solutions for complex waterfront infrastructure projects. Leong demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 60% of her procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small business participation, particularly among firms certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs. Her contracting approach actively promotes equitable access to federal opportunities, aligning with Department of Homeland Security mandates to expand economic inclusion in critical infrastructure markets. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), encompassing dredging, bulkhead construction, and channel maintenance, supplemented by NAICS 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors) for land clearing, grading, and utility relocation. Leong’s expertise centers on mission-critical civil works that support Coast Guard operational basing, environmental stewardship, and maritime domain awareness.
