Theresa Stauffer serves as a key contracting professional within the 436 Contracting Squadron of the Department of the Air Force, supporting the operational readiness of Air Force installations through the acquisition of critical infrastructure and facility services. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, engineering, and maintenance contracts essential to sustaining air base operations, including hangar systems, aircraft support infrastructure, and security-related facility enhancements.

Stauffer maintains consistent procurement relationships with established construction and engineering firms including PAETZOLD CONSTRUCTION CO INC, SEQUOIA CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, RANCO CONSTRUCTION INC, THE PASSANANTE GROUP, LLC, and XENTURIS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced contractors capable of delivering complex, high-integrity work under stringent military standards. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes, strict compliance with federal construction codes, and timely delivery in austere or active-duty environments. A strong advocate for small business participation, Stauffer consistently prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with over half of her awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, alongside significant use of Local Area Set-Asides under FAR 26.2 and targeted support for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. Her contracting strategy actively promotes economic opportunity while ensuring access to qualified, vetted vendors capable of meeting Air Force mission requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 541330 (Engineering Services), with additional emphasis on building inspection services and specialized HVAC systems. This technical alignment underscores her expertise in facility sustainment, infrastructure modernization, and compliance with DoD environmental and safety regulations, making her a vital link between operational needs and contractor execution.
