She specializes in professional and technical services contracts aligned with systems engineering, cybersecurity infrastructure, and enterprise IT modernization, ensuring mission-critical capabilities are delivered through compliant, performance-based contracting. Her portfolio emphasizes advisory and analytical support services critical to maintaining technical superiority across Air Force domains, with a focus on long-term contract performance and stakeholder alignment. Theresa maintains consistent working relationships with high-capacity contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, partnering with firms that deliver specialized expertise in management consulting, research and development, and advanced technical training. These collaborations reflect a preference for established institutional partners capable of scaling complex, multi-year efforts in SETA, analytics, and IT modernization, often requiring deep domain knowledge and security clearances.

Theresa’s primary NAICS focus areas include Professional and Management Development Training (611430), Administrative Management Consulting (541611), and Research and Development in Physical Sciences (541715), reflecting her core demand for strategic advisory services, workforce development, and applied technical research. She also regularly procures computer systems design and other professional scientific services, underscoring her expertise in integrating advanced analytical and IT capabilities into Air Force operational frameworks.
