Cheryl D.Bass

Cheryl Bass serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing consulting and administrative services acquisitions within a federal agency, ensuring alignment with mission-critical operational needs. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—focusing on high-value professional services that enhance organizational efficiency and strategic decision-making. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver effective, compliant, and responsive public services through expertly sourced consulting support. Cheryl cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of service providers specializing in management and human resources consulting, office administration, and technical advisory services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she engages both large professional services firms and small business concerns with proven expertise in federal compliance and program support. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and vendor accountability, fostering transparent and results-driven vendor relationships. Her procurement strategy reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with 20% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses to compete on equal footing, leveraging set-aside authorities to expand market access while maintaining rigorous evaluation standards. Though the majority of her acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her deliberate use of small business set-asides demonstrates a balanced dedication to socioeconomic goals without compromising acquisition integrity. Cheryl’s primary focus lies in NAICS 541611 (administrative management consulting), 541612 (human resources consulting), 561110 (office administrative services), and 541690 (other scientific and technical consulting). She procures services related to organizational design, workforce planning, process optimization, and operational support—ensuring agencies have access to specialized expertise that enhances internal capacity and program effectiveness. Her domain expertise centers on improving federal workforce performance through strategic, evidence-based consulting solutions.
