Teresa Yancey

Teresa Yancey serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of acquisition actions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. Her role is central to ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while supporting mission-critical training and technical services. She routinely handles competitive and non-competitive procurements under FAR Part 12 and Part 13, focusing on service-based contracts for education and aviation support. Her expertise lies in structuring requirements that align with agency objectives while maintaining transparency and fairness in the sourcing process. Teresa works with a diverse range of vendors, primarily private-sector training providers and aviation support contractors. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms specializing in flight instruction, computer literacy programs, and language education services. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding and vendor responsiveness, fostering relationships with both established service providers and emerging small businesses capable of delivering specialized educational outcomes. Teresa’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on maximizing value and capability rather than socioeconomic targeting, though she remains fully compliant with all small business regulations. Her approach prioritizes performance, past performance, and technical merit over socioeconomic status, ensuring that the best-qualified vendors are selected regardless of size or certification. Her primary NAICS focus centers on postsecondary educational services, particularly Other Technical and Trade Schools, Flight Training, and Computer Training, with additional activity in Language Schools and Air Transportation Support. She procures curriculum development, instructor services, simulation equipment, and operational support for aviation training environments. Her technical domain expertise lies in aligning training programs with workforce development goals, ensuring that contracted services meet precise performance standards and regulatory benchmarks.
