Terri L. Jacobsen

Terri L. Jacobsen serves as Manager of Contracts & Administration, overseeing the full lifecycle of procurement activities critical to the efficient operation of postal services. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations, manages contract modifications, and coordinates with program stakeholders to align contracting strategies with operational needs. Her responsibilities include solicitation development, source selection, contract award, and post-award administration, with a focus on maintaining transparency, accountability, and value in every acquisition. Jacobsen plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission by securing reliable, high-quality services essential to national mail and logistics infrastructure. Jacobsen’s contracting approach is characterized by a streamlined, standardized process that emphasizes efficiency and regulatory adherence. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, her portfolio consistently engages with established vendors capable of delivering postal operations support, including mail processing equipment, transportation logistics, facility maintenance, and information technology systems. Her working relationships are built on performance-based outcomes and long-term service reliability, favoring vendors with proven track records in federal postal environments. Jacobsen’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. This indicates a focus on broad market access and competitive pricing rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award profile, her adherence to full and open competition ensures equitable opportunity for all qualified vendors. Her primary industry focus is exclusively on NAICS 491110 — Postal Service — encompassing the procurement of mail handling systems, delivery vehicle maintenance, automated sorting technology, postal facility operations, and related logistical support services. Jacobsen possesses deep technical expertise in the unique operational demands of the U.S. postal network, ensuring that acquisitions directly support mission-critical mail delivery and infrastructure resilience.
