Cherie M Daniels

Cherie M. Daniels serves as a Contract Specialist within NAVFACSYSCOM Mid-Atlantic, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical infrastructure acquisitions for Navy and Marine Corps installations across the Mid-Atlantic region. Responsible for the full lifecycle procurement of construction and facility support services, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s goal of sustaining combat-ready bases and modernizing aging infrastructure. Her portfolio primarily encompasses design-build, construction management, and civil works contracts requiring rigorous technical oversight and risk mitigation. Daniels maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including RYAN CONSTRUCTION CO INC, WEEKS-CASHMAN JV, APPLEDORE MARINE - CH2M JV, W. M. JORDAN COMPANY, INCORPORATED, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with demonstrated expertise in heavy civil construction, marine infrastructure, and site development. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, contract administration rigor, and collaborative project delivery methods to ensure timely and quality outcomes for mission-critical facilities. Her contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with NAVFAC’s operational urgency and the specialized nature of the work, where technical capability and proven performance take precedence over socioeconomic criteria. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all vendors are evaluated on merit, compliance, and past performance. The primary NAICS code guiding her acquisitions is 113310 (Logging), which, in this context, refers to the procurement of specialized timber-related services for environmental mitigation, erosion control, and habitat restoration associated with military construction projects. Her technical domain expertise lies in integrating ecological compliance with civil engineering requirements, ensuring infrastructure projects meet both operational and environmental standards under federal and state regulatory frameworks.
