Theresa L. Terry

Theresa L. Terry serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, responsible for managing complex professional services acquisitions that sustain and modernize Air Force operational readiness. She specializes in procuring administrative management consulting, systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), and enterprise IT modernization services critical to mission-critical infrastructure. Her portfolio centers on high-value, non-commodity contracts requiring deep technical and strategic oversight, ensuring alignment with Air Force priorities in cybersecurity, data analytics, and mission support. Terry plays a pivotal role in translating operational needs into compliant, performance-based acquisition strategies under FAR and DFARS guidelines. Her primary contractor relationships include SIGMATECH, INC., a trusted provider of technical and management consulting services, and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, which delivers specialized research and educational support. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, high-capacity vendors with proven expertise in defense-sector consulting and applied research. Terry’s procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance metrics, and outcome-driven contract administration, fostering reliable delivery of mission-critical services through competitive and non-competitive mechanisms as appropriate. Theresa’s set-aside profile reflects a strong emphasis on full and open competition, with 88.9% of her awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Nevertheless, she consistently supports small business participation, with 11.1% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting patterns demonstrate compliance with small business goals through inclusion of qualified small firms in open competitions and subcontracting opportunities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), accounting for over half of her activity, followed by educational support and research services. She regularly procures services in systems engineering, enterprise IT modernization, cybersecurity consulting, and data analytics—domains requiring advanced technical acumen and strict adherence to federal acquisition standards. Terry’s expertise lies in bridging operational requirements with contractor capabilities to deliver scalable, secure, and mission-aligned solutions.
