Teresa Guardia

Teresa Guardia serves as a Procurement Agent responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for a broad range of goods and services critical to operational readiness and facility maintenance. Her role involves executing competitive solicitations, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, and fostering transparent, efficient contracting processes. She typically handles commercial item acquisitions, including technology hardware, software distribution, and facility-related services, aligning procurement activities with agency mission objectives while maintaining rigorous adherence to FAR guidelines and ethical standards. Guardia cultivates relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, primarily merchant wholesalers and specialty contractors, to ensure reliable access to essential equipment and services. She engages with suppliers across the computer hardware, electronic components, and janitorial services sectors, favoring established commercial vendors with proven delivery capabilities. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, timely contract administration, and vendor performance monitoring to maintain service continuity and cost-effectiveness. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her process remains inclusive, welcoming all qualified vendors regardless of size or certification status, and she consistently evaluates proposals based on technical merit, past performance, and price reasonableness. Guardia’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423430 (computer and peripheral equipment wholesale), 561720 (janitorial services), and 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors), reflecting a specialization in commercial technology procurement and facility support services. She routinely acquires IT infrastructure, electronic components, and maintenance-related systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) solutions and service-level agreements governing ongoing operational support.
