Teri Sutherland

Teri Sutherland serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4613 90 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing critical infrastructure sustainment contracts that support nuclear deterrence missions. Her work focuses on ensuring the operational integrity of remote missile field installations, launch facilities, and associated command and utility systems. She oversees the acquisition of specialized engineering, maintenance, and technical services essential to maintaining mission-critical defense infrastructure, with an emphasis on long-term resilience and modernization. Her procurement portfolio centers on complex, mission-essential contracts requiring high levels of technical oversight and compliance with Department of Defense security standards. Sutherland maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Olgoonik Specialty Contractors, LLC, Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and SafeWare Inc. These vendors are frequently engaged for their expertise in facility sustainment, secure communications systems, and hardened infrastructure support. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, technically capable firms with proven experience in remote defense environments, indicating a reliance on trusted partners who can deliver under stringent operational and security requirements. Sutherland’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven priority to select the most technically qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, aligning with the urgency and sensitivity of nuclear infrastructure sustainment. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-asides, her contracting decisions remain compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and emphasize performance capability over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) and 334118 (Computer Terminal and Other Computer Peripheral Equipment Manufacturing), underscoring her expertise in securing specialized mechanical, electrical, and hardened computing systems for remote defense sites. She routinely acquires mission-critical equipment such as environmental control units, secure data terminals, and embedded control systems essential to the continuous operation of nuclear command and launch facilities.
