Theresa S. Quick

Theresa S. Quick serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-apg organization under the Department of the Army, supporting the development and fielding of next-generation intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. She manages acquisitions for advanced aeronautical instrumentation, radio frequency platforms, and battlefield data analytics solutions, ensuring alignment with the Army’s modernization priorities in tactical communications and sensor integration. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting for complex technical systems, from requirements definition through contract award and performance oversight, with a focus on mission-critical capabilities that enhance situational awareness on the modern battlefield. Theresa collaborates with a diverse range of industrial partners, including defense primes, niche technology developers, and specialized manufacturers of sensing and data processing hardware. While specific contractor names are not publicly enumerated, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering ruggedized computing hardware, RF signal processing modules, and embedded systems tailored for expeditionary environments. Her working relationships reflect a preference for technical agility, rapid prototyping, and proven performance in high-stakes operational settings. Theresa’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible industrial base to meet urgent capability gaps, prioritizing technical merit and mission readiness over socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-aside mechanisms, her portfolio may still include small businesses that compete successfully under open competition based on technical superiority. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334118 for computer peripheral equipment, 315990 for specialized apparel and accessories—likely including integrated sensor-bearing uniforms or tactical gear—and 511210 for software publishing, indicating a hybrid portfolio spanning hardware, wearables, and battlefield analytics software. Theresa’s expertise spans the integration of sensing platforms, data transmission systems, and edge computing solutions essential to modernized infantry and airborne reconnaissance units.
