Terisa L. Kopp

Terisa L. Kopp serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition of critical test and evaluation systems essential to aerospace mission readiness. Her portfolio centers on the procurement of advanced sensing, communication, and instrumentation technologies for avionics, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence platforms. Kopp ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting the modernization of test infrastructure and the integration of high-precision measurement systems used in live-fire and electromagnetic environment testing. She executes a range of contract types, including firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement instruments, to deliver mission-critical capabilities across both hardware and software domains. Kopp maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These vendors provide niche expertise in test equipment fabrication, electromagnetic compatibility solutions, facility modifications, and control system integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency and proven performance, fostering long-term partnerships with firms that demonstrate deep domain knowledge in defense instrumentation and aerospace testing environments. While the majority of her acquisitions—85.7%—are conducted without set-asides, Kopp actively supports small business participation through 8(a) competed contracts, which account for 14.3% of her portfolio. Her socioeconomic strategy prioritizes capability over size, ensuring that qualified small businesses with specialized technical credentials are considered for complex, mission-relevant procurements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing), reflecting a strong emphasis on munitions test systems and explosive ordnance disposal instrumentation. She also regularly procures related construction and electrical services under NAICS 236220, 238210, and 238290 to support facility upgrades and infrastructure modernization for test ranges and laboratories. Kopp’s expertise bridges defense systems engineering and acquisition execution, ensuring that technical requirements are met with compliant, timely, and mission-effective solutions.
