Cheryl E Capers

Cheryl E. Capers serves as a Purchasing Agent for Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), a critical support agency within the Department of Defense responsible for delivering enterprise-wide administrative and operational services. In this role, she manages the acquisition of specialized goods and technical services that enable the modernization of DoD institutional infrastructure and the efficient execution of mission-critical functions. Her procurement activities center on non-defense manufacturing, laboratory equipment, and facility-related supplies, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and supporting WHS’s strategic goals in digital transformation and resource optimization. Cheryl maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of vendors including Clarity Innovations LLC, Cynergy Professional Systems LLC, Signature Renovations LLC, AMD International Technologies LLC, and Guidehouse Inc. These partnerships reflect a balance between technical service providers, specialized manufacturers, and management consultants who deliver tailored solutions for WHS’s internal operations. Her working pattern emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, with a preference for firms demonstrating proven capability in niche technical domains and reliable performance under federal contract standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Cheryl consistently applies Total Small Business Set-Asides (60%) in her acquisition strategy, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. She also utilizes 8(a) competed set-asides (6.7%) to promote disadvantaged business enterprise participation, while maintaining a modest proportion of open competitions (33.3%) for specialized requirements where small business capacity is limited. Her procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing), with significant activity in flat glass, analytical laboratory instruments, irradiation apparatus, and office furniture manufacturing. These categories indicate expertise in procuring precision-engineered components and facility-specific equipment essential for maintaining secure, high-functioning DoD administrative environments. Her technical domain knowledge spans industrial manufacturing standards and institutional supply chain requirements.
