Cherie Mitchell

Cherie Mitchell serves as a key procurement lead within Navfacsyscom Europe Africa Central (N33191), supporting the U.S. Navy’s mission to design, construct, and modernize critical infrastructure across Europe, Africa, and Central regions. She manages the acquisition of complex facilities engineering and utility infrastructure contracts, ensuring alignment with Department of Defense standards for force readiness and expeditionary operations. Her portfolio primarily encompasses large-scale construction and utility system modernization projects, including electrical distribution networks, lodging facilities, and mission-critical support infrastructure. Mitchell operates with a focus on mission-critical delivery timelines, technical compliance, and lifecycle sustainability in all acquisition decisions. Her procurement activity centers on a consistent cadre of international and regional contractors, most notably SOCIEDAD ESPANOLA DE MONTAJES INDUSTRIALES SA, SWABIAN CONCEPT LIMITED, KVG LLC, and AJ SOLUTIONS SH.P.K. These vendors are routinely engaged for specialized construction, electrical system integration, and facility support services across diverse geographic theaters. Mitchell fosters long-term, performance-driven partnerships with contractors possessing proven expertise in military-grade infrastructure delivery, emphasizing reliability, regulatory adherence, and operational resilience in austere environments. Mitchell’s contracting patterns reflect a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a deliberate focus on technical capability and global vendor competitiveness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s operational urgency and the specialized nature of its infrastructure requirements. Small business participation is not formally prioritized in her acquisition strategy, as projects demand specialized engineering capacity often found only among established, large-scale contractors. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 221122 (Electric Power Distribution), accounting for 75% of her activity, reflecting deep expertise in high-voltage electrical systems, substations, and grid modernization for military bases. The remaining 25% involves NAICS 532112 (Passenger Car Leasing), supporting mobility and logistics requirements for personnel and equipment transport. Mitchell’s technical domain expertise lies in mission-critical utility systems and facility support infrastructure essential to sustained naval operations abroad.
