April M. Check

April M. Check serves as a Purchasing Agent/Contract Specialist for W6QM MICC Ft. McCoy (RC), a critical support unit under the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining installation readiness through facilities and infrastructure services. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and Army regulatory frameworks. Her acquisitions primarily support custodial, grounds maintenance, building maintenance, and waste management operations essential to mission-critical garrison functions, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and service delivery standards. Check maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including YUKON MANAGEMENT, LLC, MGS CONSTRUCTION SERVICES INC., OK2 CONSTRUCTION, LLC, RYAN HERRING CONSTRUCTION INC, and A & J CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT, LLC. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and performance-driven contract renewals, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven track records in military installation support. Her approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and operational continuity, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and task-order contracting mechanisms to meet dynamic facility needs. A strong advocate for socioeconomic diversity, Check consistently prioritizes small business participation, with over 55% of her awards designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses and a significant portion allocated under Total Small Business Set-Asides per FAR 19.5. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for disadvantaged business enterprises while maintaining high performance standards across the vendor base. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings), 561730 (Landscaping Services), and 561720 (Janitorial Services), with additional activity in 562111 (Solid Waste Collection). She specializes in acquiring integrated facility services that ensure safe, sanitary, and mission-ready environments, demonstrating deep expertise in performance-based service contracting within the military installation support domain.
