Terrie Simmons

Terrie Simmons serves as a key procurement lead within the W2SD Endist Norfolk office of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure across the Eastern United States. Responsible for managing real estate and facility-related acquisitions, Simmons oversees contracts for the construction, renovation, and long-term leasing of military housing, administrative facilities, and support infrastructure. Her work directly enables operational readiness and force protection by ensuring timely delivery of resilient, mission-critical real property assets. She primarily handles design-build, construction management, and real property leasing actions under FAR Part 36 and Part 41, aligning acquisitions with Army garrison modernization priorities. Simmons maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including Clark Construction Group LLC, Sawyer Services Inc., Vanar Eastern JV1, LLC, and Ritz Construction Inc., all of which possess proven expertise in military facility construction and infrastructure modernization. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated capacity to deliver complex, high-stakes projects under stringent DoD compliance standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, schedule reliability, and adherence to Army Corps of Engineers engineering specifications. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting a focus on maximizing value and contractor capacity. However, she actively supports local economic development through 25% of awards designated under the FAR 26.2 Local Area Set-Aside authority, encouraging regional small businesses to participate in infrastructure projects near active installations. Simmons specializes exclusively in NAICS 531190—Lessors of Other Real Estate Property—focusing on long-term real property leasing, facility management, and land-use agreements that support military housing and operational support functions. Her domain expertise lies in structuring lease-purchase arrangements, ground leases, and public-private partnerships that align with Army real property management policies and DoD sustainability directives.
