Teresa Maria Perry

Teresa Maria Perry serves as a Contract Specialist within U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), where she plays a critical role in executing the agency’s global mobility mission through the acquisition of expeditionary logistics services. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for marine cargo handling operations, ensuring timely and compliant contract awards that support the movement of personnel and equipment across air, sea, land, and rail domains. Her work directly enables theater access and sustainment for military operations worldwide, with a focus on port and terminal efficiency, rapid deployment readiness, and mission-critical supply chain continuity. Perry maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC. These partnerships reflect a reliance on experienced vendors with proven capabilities in global cargo handling, port operations, and expeditionary logistics support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and operational reliability, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in mission-critical requirements rather than transactional engagements. Her procurement patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 94.1% of awards issued without set-aside designation, reflecting the specialized nature of marine cargo handling services and the limited pool of qualified providers. Only 5.9% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a targeted but limited application of socioeconomic programs, typically reserved for niche capabilities where qualified small businesses meet stringent operational standards. Perry’s portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 488320 (Marine Cargo Handling), underscoring her deep technical expertise in port terminal operations, container handling, stevedoring, and intermodal logistics support. She procures services essential to the rapid unloading, sorting, and redistribution of military cargo at strategic seaports worldwide, ensuring alignment with DoD mobility doctrine and expeditionary force sustainment requirements.
