Terrell E. Grooms

Terrell E. Grooms serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. His portfolio primarily consists of professional services contracts, with a strong emphasis on management consulting, energy infrastructure, and event logistics. Grooms works closely with program offices to align acquisition strategies with mission objectives, ensuring that procurements are structured to foster competition, mitigate risk, and deliver value to the government. While specific contractor names are not available, Grooms maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships across the professional services and clean energy sectors. He engages with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering collaborative relationships that emphasize performance, compliance, and innovation. His procurement approach prioritizes clear statement of work development, fair and open competition, and rigorous source selection processes to ensure accountability and quality outcomes. Grooms demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 90% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, he consistently supports small business participation, allocating approximately 10% of his portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small businesses while maintaining competitive integrity and mission readiness. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), which constitutes 40% of his activity, followed by solar electric power generation (NAICS 221114) and convention and trade show organizing (NAICS 561920). He also regularly procures logistics and process consulting services (NAICS 541614 and 541618), indicating deep expertise in operational efficiency, energy infrastructure development, and event management support. Grooms’ technical domain knowledge spans strategic planning, renewable energy project implementation, and large-scale event logistics.
