Theresa A Lamb

Theresa A. Lamb serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions within the aerospace and aviation sector. Her role encompasses solicitation development, source selection, contract award, and post-award administration, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency mission objectives. She specializes in complex procurements for aircraft systems and critical components, often coordinating with technical evaluators and program managers to align contracting strategies with operational requirements. Her acquisitions primarily support the development, integration, and sustainment of advanced aviation platforms and auxiliary equipment. Theresa collaborates with a diverse base of contractors, including prime manufacturers and specialized suppliers in the aerospace supply chain. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing technical expertise in aircraft component design, avionics integration, and systems engineering. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding and performance-based outcomes, fostering transparent, accountable relationships with both large industry partners and niche suppliers capable of meeting stringent aerospace standards. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 83.3% of her actions conducted as non-set-aside procurements. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, dedicating 16.7% of her awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a balanced commitment to both market efficiency and socioeconomic goals, prioritizing small business eligibility without compromising technical rigor or mission readiness. Theresa’s primary focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), which accounts for two-thirds of her activity, and NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), representing the remainder. She routinely procures flight control systems, structural components, propulsion subsystems, and mission-critical avionics. Her technical expertise spans aerospace manufacturing standards, including AS9100 and DO-160, positioning her as a subject matter expert in the procurement of high-integrity aviation hardware and systems.
