Cheryl Mikell

Cheryl Mikell serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of Veterans Affairs’ RPO West (36C24W) office, responsible for managing real property and facility-related acquisitions that support the delivery of veteran healthcare services. Her role centers on securing leased nonresidential spaces and associated infrastructure necessary for outpatient clinics, surgical suites, and dental facilities. She executes full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with VA’s strategic goals of modernizing clinical environments and maintaining operational readiness across veteran service centers. Mikell maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of contractors, including Yuma Regional Medical Center, Interra Waterview LLC, Colorado State University Research Foundation, EFC Services Corporation, and New Tech Solutions, Inc. These relationships reflect a focus on facility management, medical equipment integration, and specialized infrastructure support. Her contracting patterns indicate a preference for established vendors with proven experience in healthcare real estate and clinical facility operations, often leveraging long-term lease agreements and service-based contracts to ensure continuity of care environments. Mikell’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This indicates a strategic emphasis on open competition and vendor capability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing facility functionality and mission-critical delivery over participation-based award structures. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep expertise in real property leasing, facility fit-outs, and infrastructure-enabled clinical space acquisition. She specializes in procuring turnkey leased environments that include medical-grade utilities, HVAC systems, and compliance-ready layouts tailored to VA’s clinical standards, demonstrating technical fluency in healthcare facility design and federal real estate contracting protocols.
