Teresa A Tharp

Teresa A. Tharp serves as a key procurement professional within W6QM MICC Ft. McCoy (RC), a Department of the Army installation support unit responsible for sustaining operational readiness through facilities and infrastructure services. She manages a diverse portfolio of service-based acquisitions focused on custodial, grounds maintenance, waste management, and light construction activities critical to maintaining safe and functional military installations. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical support services that directly impact daily operations and personnel welfare. Tharp routinely handles task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts under the broader umbrella of facility sustainment and installation services. Tharp maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including YUKON MANAGEMENT, LLC, MGS CONSTRUCTION SERVICES INC., OK2 CONSTRUCTION, LLC, RYAN HERRING CONSTRUCTION INC, and A & J CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in military installation operations, demonstrating a pattern of re-engaging qualified contractors with demonstrated performance in custodial, landscaping, and light construction services. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and operational continuity, favoring contractors with prior experience supporting Army garrison environments. Tharp exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly half of her acquisitions structured as set-asides. Her contracting patterns show balanced support for Total Small Business, HUBZone, Women-Owned Small Business, and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides, each representing 10% of her portfolio. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity while ensuring access to capable small business vendors with the agility and local knowledge needed for installation support missions. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services) and 561730 (Landscaping Services), accounting for nearly 80% of her activity, with additional emphasis on solid waste collection (562111) and analytical laboratory instrument manufacturing (334516). This underscores her expertise in facility operations support, particularly in environmental services and infrastructure maintenance domains essential to Army garrison readiness.
