Theresa M. Hochstein

Theresa M. Hochstein serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA4600 55 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical communications and infrastructure systems essential to Air Force operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on procuring advanced radio and wireless communications equipment, secure computing hardware, and supporting technical services for installation-wide cyber-enabled infrastructure. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring timely delivery of technologically sophisticated systems that sustain command, control, and communications capabilities across high-priority defense sites, aligning acquisitions with Air Force modernization and resilience objectives. Theresa consistently collaborates with a core group of specialized contractors, including COMMAND CONTROL COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING & LOGISTICS LLC, PRIMECORPS LLC, TECHNOLOGISTY LLC, AMORSERV LLC, and ELKHORN WEST CONSTRUCTION, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with deep expertise in military-grade communications hardware, facility-integrated IT systems, and mission-support engineering services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and lifecycle support, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in reliability and domain-specific capability. A defining feature of Theresa’s procurement strategy is her exclusive use of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic goals and veteran-owned enterprise development. Every contract she manages is structured to maximize opportunities for SDVOSB firms, ensuring compliance with federal mandates while leveraging the specialized technical proficiency these businesses bring to defense communications and infrastructure projects. Her primary NAICS focus is 334220—Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing—indicating a narrow, high-precision specialization in procuring RF systems, secure transceivers, antenna arrays, and embedded communication modules. She routinely handles acquisitions for hardened, encrypted, and field-deployable communications hardware used in tactical and garrison environments, demonstrating deep technical fluency in military telecommunications standards and DoD cybersecurity requirements.
