Terry Winn

Terry Winn serves as the primary contracting lead within the Multiple Award Schedule Contracting Division of the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service, overseeing the acquisition of recyclable material supply chain services critical to federal environmental compliance and defense logistics. Responsible for managing Blanket Purchase Agreements and Schedule contracts under the GSA FAS framework, Winn ensures the secure, compliant, and efficient procurement of scrap metals and industrial recyclable commodities used across military and civilian agencies. Their work directly supports the federal government’s sustainability mandates and strategic material recovery objectives, focusing on end-to-end procurement processes that align with federal environmental stewardship goals. Winn maintains established relationships with a broad network of recyclable material merchant wholesalers, primarily engaged through GSA Schedule 51V and other MAS vehicles. These vendor partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based contracts that emphasize regulatory adherence, supply chain transparency, and environmental certification compliance. While no single contractor dominates the portfolio, Winn consistently engages with firms holding ISO 14001 and R2 certifications, fostering a vendor ecosystem grounded in operational integrity and environmental accountability. Winn’s procurement strategy reflects a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, including no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB programs. This approach prioritizes market-wide competition based on technical capability, compliance history, and pricing efficiency, aligning with the agency’s mandate to source strategic materials at scale without socioeconomic constraints. The primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 423930—Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers—encompassing the acquisition of ferrous and non-ferrous scrap metals, electronic waste, and industrial byproducts for recovery and reuse. Winn’s technical expertise lies in evaluating material purity standards, transportation logistics, and hazardous material handling protocols, ensuring all procurements meet Department of Defense and EPA regulatory requirements for sustainable resource recovery.
