Teresa G. Burgess

Teresa G. Burgess serves as a key procurement lead within the Supply of Shipbuilding Conversion and Repair unit under the Department of the Navy, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical shipyard services and naval vessel maintenance solutions. She plays a central role in executing the agency’s strategic mandate to sustain and modernize the U.S. Navy’s fleet through timely and technically rigorous contracting for shipbuilding, structural fabrication, and advanced repair operations. Her portfolio consistently focuses on complex, high-stakes contracts requiring specialized engineering oversight, metallurgical expertise, and compliance with naval shipyard infrastructure standards, ensuring vessels remain operationally ready and combat-capable. Burgess maintains enduring relationships with core contractors VPRIME TECH INC and VICEROY LLC, both of which provide specialized shipbuilding conversion, repair, and fabrication services tailored to naval requirements. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, quality assurance, and adherence to naval specifications. These relationships reflect a preference for proven performers with demonstrated experience in naval vessel maintenance, dry-dock operations, and structural integrity upgrades, fostering reliability and continuity in mission-critical support. Her procurement patterns show a consistent emphasis on full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions. This reflects a strategic prioritization of technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic classifications, indicating a focus on mission performance rather than socioeconomic program participation. The entirety of her contracting activity centers on NAICS 336611 — Ship Building and Repairing — encompassing hull fabrication, propulsion system overhauls, corrosion control, and naval-specific welding and metallurgy services. Her expertise lies in procuring highly technical, labor-intensive shipyard work that demands adherence to stringent naval engineering standards and regulatory compliance, ensuring the fleet’s structural and mechanical integrity across its lifecycle.
