Theresa Duffield

Theresa Duffield serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial goods and services related to building materials and recreational facilities, supporting operational needs across diverse government missions. Duffield routinely handles simplified acquisitions under the micro-purchase threshold as well as negotiated contracts requiring competitive bidding, demonstrating proficiency in both sealed bidding and request for proposal (RFP) processes. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with merchant wholesalers of lumber and wood products, as well as operators of fitness and recreational sports centers. She cultivates relationships with both large-scale distributors and small business vendors, emphasizing responsiveness, delivery reliability, and adherence to technical specifications. Her procurement approach prioritizes value-driven outcomes and timely fulfillment, often leveraging GSA schedules and other government-wide acquisition contracts to streamline sourcing. Duffield exhibits a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with approximately half of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses without additional socioeconomic preferences such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB certifications. Her pattern suggests a preference for broad-based small business participation, aligning with agency goals to foster competitive markets and economic resilience. Her primary NAICS focus spans 423310, indicating expertise in procuring lumber, plywood, millwork, and wood paneling, and 713940, reflecting demand for fitness and recreational sports center services. These domains require nuanced understanding of construction-grade materials standards and facility operations compliance, positioning her as a specialist in both physical infrastructure and service-based procurement within the public sector.
