Terrie M. Rodriguez

Terrie Rodriguez serves as a primary contracting professional within the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), playing a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission to secure the defense industrial base through rigorous personnel vetting and cybersecurity compliance. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on background investigation services, security training, and infrastructure support critical to national security operations. Her work ensures that defense contractors and federal personnel meet stringent clearance standards, aligning procurement activities with DCSA’s strategic priorities in continuous vetting and insider threat mitigation. Rodriguez maintains sustained relationships with key contractors including Peraton Risk Decision Inc., CACI Premier Technology, LLC, Echelon Services, LLC, DDC IT Services LLC, and RELX Inc., who provide specialized services in security operations, data analytics, and personnel screening. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in intelligence and security domains, often awarding task orders under existing indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to ensure operational continuity and compliance with federal security protocols. Her procurement strategy prioritizes non-set-aside contracts at 72.7%, with a notable 27.3% allocation to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach that supports small business participation without compromising mission-critical requirements. While she does not favor specific socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate commitment to broadening vendor diversity within the national security supply chain. Rodriguez’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611430 (professional security training), 561611 (background investigation services), and 238210 (electrical and wiring installation contractors), reflecting the agency’s need for both human capital development and physical infrastructure support. Her technical expertise spans security clearance systems, insider threat detection platforms, and compliance-driven training programs, positioning her at the intersection of personnel security and mission-critical infrastructure procurement.
