Theresa L. Terry

Theresa L. Terry serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, overseeing the acquisition of professional and technical services critical to sustaining Air Force operational readiness. She manages a portfolio centered on administrative management consulting, systems engineering support, and mission-critical analytics, ensuring alignment with the Air Force’s modernization and enterprise IT transformation goals. Her acquisitions typically involve complex, performance-based contracts for advisory services that enhance organizational efficiency, cybersecurity posture, and workforce development. Terry plays a vital role in translating strategic Air Force priorities into executable contract vehicles that deliver high-value, non-commodity professional services. Her primary contractor relationships are with SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, reflecting a preference for established firms with deep expertise in defense-sector consulting and applied research. She consistently engages these partners for long-term, task-order-based engagements that require technical depth, security clearances, and institutional knowledge of Air Force systems. These partnerships emphasize sustained collaboration over transactional procurement, with a focus on delivering integrated solutions in management consulting, training, and technical assistance. Theresa L. Terry’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and mission alignment, rather than socioeconomic categorizations. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her acquisition strategy, the nature of her contracts often attracts mid-tier and specialized firms capable of meeting rigorous technical and compliance requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), accounting for nearly two-thirds of her activity, followed by 541990 (Other Professional Services) and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training). She procures services including systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), enterprise IT modernization support, cybersecurity governance, and leadership development programs tailored to Air Force mission needs.
