Cheryl Berry

Cheryl Berry serves as a Small Business Specialist and APFS Coordinator. In this capacity, she is responsible for managing small business outreach and coordinating procurement activities to ensure the agency meets its small business goals and regulatory requirements. Her role is central to the agency's mission of expanding opportunities for small businesses within the federal acquisition lifecycle. Regarding set-aside preferences, there is a significant commitment to small business participation, with nearly 38% of procurement activity designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides. While the majority of awards are unrestricted, the agency utilizes a variety of socioeconomic vehicles, including 8(a) and other regionally designated set-asides such as HUBZone and SDVOSB to diversify its vendor base. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in the construction and engineering sectors. Primary technical expertise is evident in Commercial and Institutional Building Construction and Engineering Services, which together comprise nearly half of the activity. Additional focus areas include heavy and civil engineering construction, new single-family housing construction, and poured concrete foundation and structure contracting.
