Teresa Spiker

Teresa Spiker serves as a Contract Specialist at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Dahlgren Division (NSWC Dahlgren), where she plays a critical role in executing complex acquisitions for advanced naval warfare systems. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts supporting research, development, test, and evaluation of electronic warfare, signal processing, command and control platforms, and embedded computing technologies. Her portfolio centers on mission-critical hardware and software systems that enhance integrated combat capabilities for surface ships and networked warfare environments, ensuring timely delivery of technically sophisticated solutions aligned with Department of the Navy strategic priorities. Spiker maintains consistent procurement relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including TEX-TECH ENGINEERED COMPOSITES, LLC for advanced material systems, TATITLEK GOVERNMENT SERVICES, INC. for technical services and engineering support, 3DB LABS INC for additive manufacturing solutions, WASTE REMOVAL USA, LLC for environmental compliance services, and BOWHEAD PROGRAM MANAGEMENT & OPERATIONS, LLC for program management and logistics integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical alignment, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor collaboration with firms possessing domain-specific expertise in defense electronics and naval systems. Spiker’s acquisition portfolio reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects the highly specialized nature of the technologies procured, where technical capability and mission readiness take precedence over socioeconomic targeting, though small business participation remains possible through subcontracting arrangements. Her primary NAICS focus lies in three closely related technical domains: 334220 for wireless communications equipment, 334515 for electrical signal measurement instruments, and 334519 for other precision measuring and controlling devices. These categories underscore her expertise in procuring advanced sensor systems, embedded electronics, and signal processing hardware essential to modern naval combat systems.
