Teri Edwards

Teri Edwards serves as a key procurement professional within the W071 Endist Omaha office of the Department of the Army, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure. She manages complex acquisitions for construction, engineering, and technical services essential to base readiness, nuclear deterrence facilities, and utility corridor development. Her portfolio spans hardening of strategic installations, commercial and institutional building projects, and specialized technical support services, ensuring alignment with Army infrastructure modernization priorities. Edwards operates within a high-stakes operational environment where mission-critical timelines and compliance with defense construction standards are paramount. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including JOHN BOWMAN, INC., PAF ELECTRICAL, INC., HENDRICKSON TRANSPORTATION LLC, PERINI MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., and WASHINGTON EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, full-service vendors capable of delivering integrated construction, electrical systems, heavy haul logistics, and project management services under stringent military specifications. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous quality control, and adherence to Army Corps of Engineers design criteria. While the majority of her acquisitions are competed without set-aside restrictions (77.8%), she actively supports small business participation through 8(a) competed contracts (22.2%), demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach—prioritizing mission capability while fostering opportunities for certified small businesses in the defense construction ecosystem. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237120 (oil and gas pipeline and related structures construction) and 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), with significant activity in 541990 (professional, scientific, and technical services) and 541330 (engineering services). This underscores her expertise in managing multidisciplinary projects requiring civil, electrical, and structural engineering support for hardened military facilities and mission-enabling infrastructure.
