Cheryl F. Duckett-Moody serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions aligned with mission-critical support services. She plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s procurement strategy by ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while promoting transparency, competition, and socioeconomic goals. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services contracts, with a focus on consulting, cultural programming, and creative services, reflecting a balanced approach to both administrative and mission-support needs. She oversees the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring alignment with statutory requirements and strategic objectives. While specific contractor names are not available, her contracting patterns indicate a consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, particularly those capable of delivering specialized consulting, arts programming, and cultural services. She fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and contractual accountability, encouraging both established firms and emerging small businesses to participate in federal opportunities. Cheryl demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 66.7% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity for small businesses, including those owned by women, veterans, or socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, even though no specific socioeconomic categories are dominant. Her consistent use of set-asides underscores a proactive effort to meet federal small business contracting goals and enhance market access. Her primary NAICS focus areas—541611 for management consulting, 712110 for museums, and 711510 for independent artists and performers—reveal a specialized expertise in procuring advisory services, cultural institution support, and creative workforce engagement. She regularly handles contracts for strategic planning, exhibit development, public programming, and artistic services, demonstrating deep familiarity with the unique compliance and performance requirements of the arts and humanities sector.
