Terrhonda C. Mills

Terrhonda C. Mills serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of Housing and Urban Development’s Chief Procurement Office (Code: 86544A), where she plays a pivotal role in executing acquisitions that support the agency’s mission to manage and liquidate federally held real estate owned (REO) assets. She oversees the full lifecycle of procurement actions for real estate services, including asset valuation, property maintenance, and field-level management, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and strategic asset disposition goals. Her work directly enables HUD to optimize the stewardship of public housing inventory through timely, transparent, and efficient contracting practices. Ms. Mills maintains professional relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in real estate services and administrative consulting. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she routinely engages firms with demonstrated expertise in REO asset management, property condition assessments, and operational support for federal property portfolios. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear deliverables, and accountability, fostering collaborative partnerships with vendors capable of delivering scalable, field-ready solutions across multiple jurisdictions. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, with 25% of her acquisitions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5. Though the majority of her contracts are open to all competitors, she consistently prioritizes small business eligibility and encourages participation from firms certified under HUBZone, SDVOSB, and WOSB programs, aligning with HUD’s broader equity and inclusion objectives. Ms. Mills specializes in procurements classified under NAICS 531390 (Other Activities Related to Real Estate), which encompasses property management, REO disposition, and real estate advisory services. She also frequently procures administrative management consulting services under NAICS 541611 to support operational efficiency and policy implementation. Her technical domain expertise lies in the intersection of federal real estate policy and service delivery, ensuring acquisitions align with HUD’s mission to stabilize communities through responsible asset management.
