Teresa Thompson

Teresa B. Thompson serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and solicitation to contract award and administration. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts in energy infrastructure, facility support, and professional engineering services, with a strong emphasis on performance-based acquisition methods and risk-mitigated contracting practices. Thompson’s work supports mission-critical operations through timely and transparent procurement processes that align with federal fiscal and regulatory standards. Thompson cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, particularly in the utilities and facilities management sectors. She engages with firms possessing specialized technical capabilities in natural gas distribution, electric power generation, and janitorial services, often requiring compliance with safety, environmental, and operational standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor accountability, performance metrics, and contract closeout rigor, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in reliability and regulatory adherence. Thompson demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately 28.6% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides, including HUBZone and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her acquisitions remain open to full and open competition, her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate effort to promote equitable access to federal contracting opportunities and support economically disadvantaged communities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 221210 (Natural Gas Distribution), 221118 (Other Electric Power Generation), 561720 (Janitorial Services), and 541330 (Engineering Services). She routinely procures energy infrastructure maintenance, facility operations support, and technical engineering consultations, requiring deep domain knowledge in utility systems, environmental compliance, and facility management standards. Her expertise enables her to effectively evaluate technical proposals and ensure contractor alignment with operational and safety requirements.
