Anthony Cheatwood

Anthony Cheatwood serves as the primary contracting representative for the W6QM Micc-ft Riley under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of specialized infrastructure and operational support services critical to Army installation readiness. His role centers on managing procurements aligned with the agency’s mission to sustain secure, functional, and habitable military environments through reliable facilities and equipment solutions. Cheatwood handles complex acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 authorities, primarily focused on conveyor and conveying equipment manufacturing, ensuring the procurement of mission-critical material handling systems used in logistics, maintenance, and supply chain operations across Army bases. His procurement portfolio is dominated by a single primary contractor, CHENEGA BASE & LOGISTICS SERVICES LLC, with which he maintains a consistent, long-term partnership for integrated facilities support and equipment delivery. While other vendors contribute minimally to his portfolio, the relationship with CHENEGA reflects a pattern of performance-based contracting and sustained vendor collaboration grounded in technical reliability and mission alignment. Cheatwood’s approach prioritizes vendor accountability and service continuity, favoring contractors with proven track records in military logistics environments. Cheatwood’s contracting strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with approximately half of his acquisitions set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5, and the other half awarded without set-aside. This dual approach enables flexibility while maintaining robust small business engagement, consistent with Army directives to broaden vendor diversity without compromising operational requirements. His technical expertise is narrowly focused on NAICS 333922, encompassing the procurement of conveyor systems, automated material handling equipment, and related conveying technologies essential for Army garrison logistics. This specialization requires deep familiarity with military-grade durability standards, integration with existing infrastructure, and compliance with DoD environmental and safety regulations, positioning Cheatwood as a subject matter expert in niche industrial equipment procurement for defense installations.
