Cheryl Davis

Cheryl Davis serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for food and beverage products within her agency. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while facilitating timely, cost-effective acquisitions that meet operational requirements. Her work spans solicitation development, source selection, contract award, and post-award administration, with a primary focus on processed food manufacturing categories. Cheryl plays a critical role in aligning procurement strategy with agency mission needs, ensuring that all contracts support safe, reliable, and nutritionally appropriate supply chains for institutional use. Cheryl collaborates with a diverse range of food manufacturers and processors, including both large-scale producers and small businesses, to secure high-quality dry, condensed, and shelf-stable food products. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in food safety, packaging compliance, and just-in-time delivery. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she maintains consistent working relationships with suppliers who demonstrate reliability in meeting federal food standards and regulatory documentation requirements. Cheryl’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing market participation and ensuring the broadest possible access to high-capacity, high-quality food producers. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach supports equitable competition by leveraging transparent, merit-based evaluation criteria across all solicitations. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to food manufacturing, including roasted nuts and peanut butter (311911), breakfast cereal (311230), soybean and oilseed processing (311224), fats and oils refining (311225), and dry dairy product manufacturing (311514). Cheryl possesses deep technical expertise in food formulation, shelf-life validation, allergen control, and packaging specifications, ensuring that all acquisitions comply with USDA and FDA standards for institutional feeding programs.
