Terry Coley

Terry Coley serves as a Contracting Officer at the Securities and Exchange Commission, where she manages complex acquisitions critical to the agency’s mission of market oversight and investor protection. Her portfolio centers on technology-enabled regulatory tools, including data analytics platforms, financial surveillance systems, and cloud-based infrastructure that support real-time market monitoring and fraud detection. Coley oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from requirements development and source selection to award and performance management—ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the SEC’s strategic modernization goals. She maintains longstanding relationships with leading federal contractors including General Dynamics Information Technology, Booz Allen Hamilton, Maximus Federal Consulting, Team Greenzone JV, and Procentrix, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven expertise in financial systems integration, cybersecurity, and data engineering. Coley’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and technical rigor, often requiring vendors to demonstrate deep domain knowledge in securities regulation and large-scale data processing environments. Coley’s procurement activity is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 92.6% of awards issued under full and open competition. Only 7.4% are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not a primary driver, she adheres to all statutory requirements and evaluates small business offers on an equal technical footing. Her primary NAICS focus includes 519130 (Other Financial Investment Activities), 523999 (Miscellaneous Financial Investment Activities), and 518210 (Data Processing and Hosting Services), reflecting her specialization in financial data analytics, algorithmic trading surveillance, and secure computing infrastructure. She routinely procures advanced analytical tools, real-time data pipelines, and regulatory compliance platforms that enable the SEC to maintain market integrity through technology-driven oversight.
