Tereshia Burford

Tereshia Burford serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0413 AQ HQ RCO-HI, a Department of the Army organization responsible for sustaining military readiness across the Pacific region. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of acquisition activities for mission-enabling services, including facility maintenance, logistics support, environmental compliance, and critical infrastructure modernization. Her portfolio emphasizes non-construction services that ensure operational continuity at Army installations, with a focus on procurement strategies aligned with federal acquisition regulations and DoD sustainability directives. Burford routinely handles task and delivery order contracts under IDIQ vehicles, ensuring timely and compliant execution of requirements that support installation resilience and force readiness. Burford maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including HAMASAKI CONSTRUCTION LLC, PHOENIX V LLC, SURECAN LLC, HONOLULU DISPOSAL SERVICE, INC., and PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C. These partnerships reflect a preference for regional and specialized vendors capable of delivering facility operations, waste management, pest control, and logistics support services across remote and high-demand Pacific theater locations. Her contracting approach prioritizes reliability, performance-based outcomes, and local market engagement, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear performance metrics and contract compliance. Her procurement strategy demonstrates strong commitment to small business participation, with over 51% of awards structured as small business set-asides—primarily Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. While no set-aside remains the largest category, her consistent use of socioeconomic programs reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for disadvantaged and veteran-owned enterprises while maintaining competitive rigor in source selection. Burford’s primary NAICS focus areas include Process, Physical Distribution, and Logistics Consulting Services (541614), Rooming and Boarding Houses (721310), and Exterminating and Pest Control Services (561710), indicating deep specialization in workforce housing, supply chain logistics, and installation environmental health services. She also procures telecommunications equipment manufacturing (334220) and office furniture (337214), reflecting a broad but targeted approach to sustaining both operational and quality-of-life infrastructure across Army installations in the Pacific.
