Terrie Overstreet

Terrie Overstreet plays a critical role in advancing the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s mission to counter weapons of mass destruction through strategic procurement of technical and operational support services. While her official title is not publicly designated, her procurement activities center on acquiring specialized scientific, analytical, and infrastructure services essential to detecting, analyzing, and neutralizing chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and high-yield explosive threats. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning research support, threat intelligence systems, and mission-critical logistics, ensuring the agency maintains cutting-edge capabilities through rapid acquisition pathways and agile contracting methods. Overstreet maintains sustained relationships with key contractors including TECHTRANS INTERNATIONAL INC, BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE, AERIS LLC, APPLIED RESEARCH ASSOCIATES, INC., and AMAZON WEB SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for high-caliber technical vendors with proven expertise in defense science, data analytics, and secure cloud infrastructure. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on long-term, performance-based agreements with firms capable of delivering complex, multidisciplinary solutions under stringent security protocols, often involving classified or controlled unclassified information environments. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 63.6% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the specialized nature of required capabilities. However, she consistently allocates 36.4% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to fostering innovation through small business participation without compromising mission readiness. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Other Support Activities for Air Transportation, All Other Amusement and Recreation Industries, and All Other Miscellaneous Schools and Instruction—categories that, in this context, support niche logistics, simulation-based training, and specialized instructional systems for WMD response teams. Additional procurement activity in Administrative Management Consulting and Wired Telecommunications Carriers underscores her focus on integrated command, control, and communication architectures critical to threat mitigation operations.
