Cheryl Faile

Cheryl L. Faile serves as a Purchasing & SM Specialist, responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for essential services supporting agency operations. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while promoting efficiency, transparency, and value in contract awards. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating proposals, conducting market research, and administering contracts—primarily focused on landscaping and grounds maintenance services. Faile plays a critical role in aligning procurement activities with operational needs, ensuring timely delivery of high-quality outdoor environment services that support public infrastructure and facility readiness. While specific contractor names are not available, Faile maintains consistent relationships with a broad base of service providers specializing in landscape maintenance, irrigation, turf management, and seasonal hardscape installation. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven performance histories, emphasizing quality control, safety compliance, and environmental stewardship. She engages with both large service contractors and local providers, fostering reliable, long-term partnerships grounded in performance-based outcomes and contract compliance. Faile’s procurement approach is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under standard commercial procedures. This reflects a strategic focus on open competition and broad market access rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic categories in award decisions, her process remains fully compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and emphasizes fair and open competition as the foundation for selecting qualified vendors. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 561730—Landscaping Services—encompassing routine groundskeeping, shrub and tree maintenance, erosion control, snow removal, and landscape design implementation. Faile possesses deep technical expertise in service delivery standards for public-facing outdoor spaces, ensuring contracts specify measurable performance metrics, equipment requirements, and environmental best practices. Her domain knowledge enables her to effectively evaluate technical proposals and manage contractor performance in complex, outdoor operational environments.
