Theresa J. Mangione

Theresa J. Mangione serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and agency procurement policies, delivering mission-critical goods and services in a timely, transparent, and cost-effective manner. Her portfolio primarily consists of non-set-aside acquisitions, reflecting a focus on open competition to achieve optimal value for the government. She routinely handles complex procurements across a broad spectrum of professional, technical, and administrative services, ensuring alignment with strategic agency objectives and statutory procurement mandates. Theresa maintains a vendor-neutral procurement posture, engaging with a diverse pool of contractors across industry sectors without reliance on a concentrated group of prime vendors. Her contracting approach emphasizes fair and open competition, fostering relationships with both large-capability firms and small businesses that meet technical requirements under full and open solicitations. She prioritizes clear communication, rigorous source selection criteria, and contract performance oversight to ensure accountability and delivery outcomes. Her set-aside preferences are exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market participation and leverage broad industry capabilities without socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her processes remain fully compliant with all applicable socioeconomic regulations, and small businesses are encouraged to compete on equal footing. Though specific NAICS categories are not available, her acquisitions consistently involve professional services, program management, logistics support, and technical consulting. Her expertise lies in structuring solicitations that attract qualified bidders for complex, performance-based requirements, demonstrating deep familiarity with performance work statements, task order contracting, and outcome-driven acquisition strategies.
