Teresa M Hollis

Teresa M. Hollis serves as a Contract Specialist at the Defense Threat Reduction Agency (HDTRA1), where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions aligned with the agency’s mission to counter weapons of mass destruction and emerging national security threats. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration, with a primary focus on engineering services that support technical analysis, threat detection systems, and operational readiness. Her work directly enables the development and deployment of advanced capabilities in chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive defense technologies. Hollis maintains sustained relationships with leading technical contractors including TECHTRANS INTERNATIONAL INC, BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE, AERIS LLC, APPLIED RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC., and AMAZON WEB SERVICES, INC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, mission-critical engagements in research and development, systems integration, and cloud-based analytical platforms. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and collaboration with vendors possessing deep domain expertise in defense science and threat mitigation. Her procurement patterns reflect a consistent preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides utilized in her portfolio. This reflects a strategic alignment with the technical complexity and national security sensitivity of HDTRA1’s missions, where specialized capabilities often require large-scale, non-traditional contractors with advanced infrastructure and clearance levels. Hollis’s acquisitions are exclusively focused on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing advanced scientific research, modeling and simulation, forensic analysis, and systems engineering support. She procures high-integrity technical services critical to threat assessment, sensor development, and real-time intelligence processing, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of defense science and acquisition policy.
