Terria A Mcknight

Terria McKnight serves as a Contract Specialist within the 261-NETWORK Contract Office 21 (36C261) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize VA medical infrastructure and clinical capabilities. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for specialized medical equipment, surgical supplies, laboratory instruments, and facility support services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and VA-specific operational requirements. Her work directly supports the delivery of high-quality, accessible healthcare by securing essential resources that enable diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical services across VA medical centers. McKnight maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors including Abbott Laboratories Inc., Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Integrated Trans Joint Venture LLC, Science Applications International Corporation, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC. These partnerships span medical technology, IT systems integration, and facility maintenance services, reflecting a balanced approach to sourcing from both large prime contractors and specialized niche providers. Her procurement patterns emphasize reliability, technical precision, and long-term service performance, often resulting in repeat engagements with vendors who demonstrate proven capability in supporting complex healthcare environments. While the majority of her acquisitions—87.5%—are conducted without set-asides, McKnight maintains a meaningful commitment to socioeconomic programs, with 12.5% of her portfolio dedicated to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. This reflects a deliberate alignment with VA’s mission to support veteran-owned enterprises while ensuring mission readiness through qualified vendors. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Janitorial Services (561720), Security Guards and Patrol Services (561612), Other Building Equipment Contractors (238290), and specialized support services under 811219 and 511210. This indicates deep expertise in procuring facility operations, environmental services, and mission-critical support systems essential to maintaining the operational integrity of VA healthcare facilities.
