Terrie M Brown

Terrie M. Brown serves as a Contract Specialist at Base Alameda (70Z031), a key U.S. Coast Guard installation under the Department of Homeland Security, where she manages the acquisition lifecycle for facility sustainment and infrastructure modernization projects. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, and administering contracts to support mission-critical operations across the Pacific region. She specializes in procurement actions related to facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and workforce safety initiatives, ensuring all acquisitions align with federal regulations and Coast Guard strategic priorities. While specific contractor names are not available, Brown maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses and specialized service providers in construction support, environmental testing, and facility operations. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance and reliability. Brown demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over half of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses, reflecting the agency’s mandate to promote equitable access and foster regional economic resilience. Her contracting patterns show minimal use of large business set-asides, underscoring a deliberate focus on expanding participation from small and disadvantaged firms. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning), 541380 (testing laboratories), 721110 (lodging services), 561730 (landscaping), and 221310 (water supply systems). These reflect her technical expertise in facility infrastructure, environmental services, and operational support, ensuring Coast Guard installations remain safe, compliant, and mission-ready. Brown’s work directly enables the sustained readiness of maritime personnel through reliable, well-maintained infrastructure.
