Hello Industry Partners, I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce you to our newest team members based out of Ft. Worth. All three of them bring invaluable experience in acquisitions to the OASIS team.

Todd Richards will serve as the Deputy Director of the OASIS Program Management Office, where he has been serving in an acting capacity.  Formerly, Todd served as a Senior Contracting Officer and Business Development Specialist for the Enterprise GWAC Center in Ft.

Todd has served over 22 years in the Federal Government and over 18 of those years have been in contracting.  Todd began his career as an active duty Air Force officer, serving both as a Nuclear Missile Launch Officer and a Contracting Officer.

Prior to his current position, Tom served as Supervisory Contracting Officer in GSA, Public Building Services, Region 7, managing contracts supporting the Operations and Maintenance of Federal Buildings. Tom also served 9 years within the GSA, FAS GWAC office, Regions 4 and 7, supporting Department of Defense and Federal Information Technology programs.  He was the Contracting Officer for the Millennia Lite GWAC and Alliant GWAC.
