Cheryl C. Parks

Cheryl C. Parks serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QM Micc-ft Gordon under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions that support military scientific, forensic, and training missions. Her portfolio centers on procuring precision laboratory instrumentation, cybersecurity infrastructure, and specialized training systems essential to national defense operations. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with the agency’s strategic modernization goals. Parks is instrumental in translating technical requirements into enforceable contractual terms that safeguard mission readiness and operational integrity. Her primary contractor relationships include Midlands Pressure Wash Services LLC, reflecting a consistent engagement with niche service providers capable of delivering specialized logistical and facility support. While her contracting activity spans a broad range of vendors, she maintains a preference for firms with proven expertise in security systems, administrative services, and technical support functions critical to laboratory and intelligence operations. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on reliability, regulatory compliance, and performance-based outcomes rather than volume-driven procurement. Parks demonstrates a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly 40% of her awards structured under socioeconomic set-asides. Her contracting patterns reflect a notable emphasis on SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSB) and total small business set-asides, alongside HUBZone participation. She actively leverages FAR 19.15 and FAR 19.5 authorities to expand opportunities for underserved entrepreneurs while maintaining competitive rigor. Her primary NAICS focus includes Office Administrative Services (561110), Security Systems Services (561621), and specialized technical services linked to 511210 (Software Publishers), indicating a strong alignment with administrative, cybersecurity, and data-driven support functions. She routinely procures services related to forensic lab operations, training system integration, and secure infrastructure maintenance, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense-related technical domains and mission-critical procurement requirements.
