Teresa L. Lamphere

Teresa L. Lamphere serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Ceu PROVIDENCE (70Z0G1), responsible for managing construction and infrastructure modernization contracts critical to sustaining operational readiness across Coast Guard facilities nationwide. She oversees the acquisition of heavy civil engineering, commercial building, and utility system upgrades—including barracks, training centers, boat maintenance facilities, and associated infrastructure—to ensure mission-critical assets remain functional and compliant with federal standards. Her portfolio emphasizes performance-based contracting and lifecycle asset management, aligning procurement decisions with the Coast Guard’s strategic infrastructure goals. Lamphere maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established contractors, including TERRY CONTRACTING & MATERIALS, INC., GALVIN BROS & MADHUE CONTRACTING JV, and FULLER MARINE SERVICES, INC., among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced firms with proven capabilities in marine-adjacent construction, structural rehabilitation, and facility modernization. Her contracting approach prioritizes reliability, technical proficiency, and past performance, fostering long-term vendor collaborations that support complex, multi-phase projects requiring specialized maritime construction expertise. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Service-disabled veteran-owned and HUBZone small businesses also receive targeted consideration, reflecting a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting. While the majority of acquisitions are open competition, Lamphere actively leverages set-aside authorities to promote equitable access and capacity building within the small business community. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in plumbing, HVAC, masonry, and roofing systems. She specializes in procuring integrated facility upgrades that combine structural, mechanical, and environmental systems, requiring coordination across multiple trade disciplines to meet Coast Guard’s stringent operational and safety requirements.
