Terryll Zade

Terryll Zade serves as a Contracting Officer for NAVFACSYSCOM Mid-Atlantic, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure projects supporting Navy and Marine Corps installations across the Mid-Atlantic region. Responsible for full lifecycle contract execution, she ensures compliance with FAR and DOD regulations while delivering resilient, sustainable facilities that enhance operational readiness. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction and specialty trade contracts, including commercial and institutional building projects, roofing, highway infrastructure, and ancillary site development, all aligned with the agency’s mandate to modernize aging infrastructure and sustain combat-ready bases. Zade maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including RYAN CONSTRUCTION CO INC, WEEKS-CASHMAN JV, APPLEDORE MARINE - CH2M JV, W. M. JORDAN COMPANY, INCORPORATED, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven track records in complex federal construction environments, often involving joint ventures and multi-disciplinary teams capable of delivering integrated facility solutions under stringent military standards. Her contracting approach prioritizes broad market access, with 71.4% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions and 28.6% designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While she does not routinely employ 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific set-asides, her consistent use of total small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to fostering competition and expanding opportunities for qualified small businesses in the federal construction sector. Zade’s technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for half of her portfolio, followed by 238990 (Other Specialty Trade Contractors), 238160 (Roofing Contractors), and 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction). Her expertise lies in procuring integrated construction services that combine structural, mechanical, and civil elements to meet the unique demands of military installations, ensuring compliance with military construction codes and environmental sustainability standards.
