Teresa Harrington

Teresa Harrington serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Surface Warfare Center, supporting the development and sustainment of advanced electronic, sensor, and communications systems for surface naval platforms. She plays a critical role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that enhance situational awareness, signal processing, and precision instrumentation for fleet readiness. Her portfolio primarily encompasses engineering services, systems integration, and technical support contracts for radar, sonar, and electronic warfare technologies, aligning closely with the Center’s strategic priorities in modernizing maritime combat systems. Harrington ensures compliance with Department of the Navy acquisition protocols while facilitating timely delivery of high-impact technical capabilities. She maintains longstanding partnerships with a select group of defense contractors, including Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Science Applications International Corporation, The Whiskey Project Group USA LLC, and Washington Office Interiors LLC. These relationships reflect a preference for established defense-industrial base vendors with proven expertise in naval electronics, systems engineering, and mission-critical infrastructure support. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and sustained operational support, often involving complex requirements for classified or sensitive maritime environments. Harrington’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of qualified technical providers, prioritizing capability and readiness over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, vendors of all sizes are evaluated equally on technical merit, past performance, and system integration expertise. Her acquisitions are centered on defense-related engineering and technical services supporting naval electronic systems, including signal processing, sensor fusion, navigation instrumentation, and communications architecture. She routinely procures specialized hardware, software development, and lifecycle sustainment services critical to maintaining undersea and surface warfare dominance. Her domain expertise lies at the intersection of naval systems engineering and defense acquisition management.
