Theresa Eckstein

Theresa M. Eckstein serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-pica office of the Department of the Army, where she supports critical military readiness through the acquisition of facility services, infrastructure maintenance, and operational support systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain combat systems, maintain installation infrastructure, and ensure reliable logistics and munitions supply chains. She routinely handles complex service-based acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, with a focus on building operations, environmental systems, and facility maintenance contracts that directly enable force projection and base-wide operational continuity. Eckstein maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of prime contractors including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC, BIGELOW FAMILY HOLDINGS LLC, and WISENGINEERING LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced mix of large defense contractors and specialized small businesses, indicating a strategic approach to leveraging industry capacity while ensuring technical reliability and mission-critical performance across installation support domains. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with 63.2% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 15.8% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to foster small business growth while maintaining high standards for contractor performance and mission alignment. Eckstein’s portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings) and 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors), reflecting deep expertise in facility systems maintenance, building envelope services, and utility infrastructure support. She also regularly procures janitorial services and building exterior work, demonstrating specialized knowledge in sustainment contracting for military installations and a focus on long-term operational resilience through reliable facility services.
