Cheryl Williams

Cheryl K. Williams serves as a key procurement professional within the W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, supporting the Department of the Army’s lifecycle management of ground combat and support vehicle systems. She manages complex acquisition programs focused on the sustainment, modernization, and technical integration of armored platforms, tactical wheeled vehicles, and associated ordnance systems. Her work ensures operational readiness through timely contract execution for engineering, manufacturing, and logistics support services, aligning closely with TACOM’s mission to enhance vehicle survivability, mobility, and power efficiency. She routinely handles classified and unclassified contracts under FAR and DFARS frameworks, with a strong emphasis on technical compliance and supply chain resilience. Williams maintains established relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Schutt Industries, VAREC NV, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing. These partnerships reflect a focus on high-precision manufacturing, avionics integration, structural components, and mission-critical system upgrades. Her contracting approach prioritizes long-term vendor collaboration, leveraging proven technical capabilities and quality assurance protocols to meet stringent military performance standards. Her procurement portfolio exhibits minimal use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 95% of awards issued under open competition and only 5% designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern indicates a preference for technical capability over socioeconomic categorization, though she remains compliant with all statutory small business participation requirements. Williams’ primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332216 (saw blade and handtool manufacturing), 336612 (boat building), 332313 (plate work manufacturing), and 314910 (textile bag and canvas mills), reflecting a unique blend of industrial base needs—from precision metal fabrication to specialized textile components for vehicle interiors and protective gear. Her domain expertise spans mechanical systems, armored structure fabrication, and embedded avionics integration within ground vehicle platforms.
