Charmyne Reid

Charmyne Reid serves as a Contract Administrator responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions related to apparel accessories and other apparel manufacturing. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations, coordinates requirement development, evaluates vendor proposals, and administers contract performance to meet agency mission needs. Her work is central to the efficient and lawful execution of acquisitions within her domain, supporting the procurement of specialized clothing, gear, and textile-based accessories used in operational or institutional settings. She typically handles firm-fixed-price and time-and-materials contracts for commercial off-the-shelf and custom-manufactured apparel items, ensuring timely delivery and quality assurance standards are met. Charmyne works closely with a range of manufacturers and suppliers specializing in textile production, garment assembly, and accessory fabrication. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she maintains consistent relationships with established vendors capable of scaling production while adhering to federal quality and delivery requirements. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and responsiveness, fostering partnerships with firms that demonstrate strong supply chain management and adherence to U.S. manufacturing standards. Charmyne’s procurement activity is entirely focused on open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under non-set-aside authorities. This reflects a strategic preference for broad-based competition to ensure optimal value and availability, rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach prioritizes market-wide access while maintaining rigorous evaluation criteria for technical capability and performance history. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 315990, encompassing the manufacturing of apparel accessories such as belts, hats, gloves, and other non-apparel textile items. She possesses deep expertise in sourcing products that meet precise functional, durability, and specification requirements, often coordinating with end-user stakeholders to align technical standards with operational needs. Her domain knowledge includes material composition, labeling compliance, and production traceability within the U.S. apparel manufacturing sector.
