Cheryl Peters

Cherylynn Peters serves as a Contracting/Grants Officer responsible for managing a diverse portfolio of acquisition actions aligned with federal procurement regulations and socioeconomic objectives. In her role, she oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR provisions and promoting efficient use of public funds. Her acquisitions primarily support creative, media, and technical services, reflecting a mission-driven focus on non-traditional federal contracting areas. She works closely with program stakeholders to translate operational needs into legally sound, competitively awarded contracts that deliver value and innovation. While no specific contractor relationships are identified in current data, her procurement patterns suggest a broad engagement with vendors across creative, technical, and service sectors. She routinely interacts with independent contractors, small creative studios, and specialized service providers, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in transparency and fair competition. Her approach emphasizes open market opportunities while maintaining rigorous oversight to ensure performance and accountability across contract vehicles. Cherylynn demonstrates a strong preference for open, unrestricted competition, with 91.7% of her awards issued without set-asides. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, consistently allocating 8.3% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced commitment to maximizing competition while ensuring equitable access for small businesses, without reliance on specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers (711510); Motion Picture and Video Production (512110); and Travel Arrangement and Reservation Services (561599), indicating expertise in procuring creative content, media production, and logistical support services. She also regularly engages providers of Graphic Design Services (541430) and specialized electronic components (334419), showcasing a nuanced understanding of niche technical and artistic markets. Her domain expertise lies in bridging creative industry capabilities with federal operational requirements.
