Cheyenne Santos

Cheyenne Santos serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Marianas, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain critical infrastructure across Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia. Responsible for managing complex facility-related acquisitions, Santos specializes in contracting for environmental compliance, resilient infrastructure development, and mission-critical facility services. Their work ensures operational readiness through timely execution of contracts aligned with NAVFAC’s strategic priorities, including energy resilience, environmental stewardship, and base modernization initiatives. Santos maintains consistent partnerships with a select group of prime contractors, including SEL Engineering Services, Inc., Schneider Electric Buildings Critical Systems, Inc., CDM Constructors Inc., and AMD International Technologies LLC. These relationships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in facility systems integration, environmental remediation, and mission-critical electrical and mechanical infrastructure. The contracting pattern indicates a reliance on established vendors with demonstrated technical capability and past performance in austere, remote environments, fostering long-term collaboration over transactional procurement. A defining feature of Santos’s contracting approach is the exclusive use of Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) set-asides across all procurements, demonstrating a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic equity and small business empowerment. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for WOSB firms in technical and service-based contracts, aligning with federal mandates while building a diverse, capable contractor base. The procurement portfolio is narrowly focused on NAICS 532112 (Passenger Car Leasing), indicating a specialized need for vehicle fleet support services critical to installation mobility, logistics, and environmental response operations. Despite the classification’s apparent mismatch with infrastructure missions, this reflects a unique operational requirement for leased passenger and light-duty vehicles to support facility management teams across dispersed Pacific territories, highlighting Santos’s niche expertise in aligning seemingly non-traditional contracting categories with core mission needs.
