Cindy Lee Severson

Cindy Lee Severson serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7N0 Uspfo Activity Sd Arng under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in securing critical support services to sustain the operational readiness and quality-of-life needs of Army National Guard personnel. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for lodging and hospitality services essential to training, recruitment, and administrative operations. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with the agency’s mission to ensure consistent, high-quality meal and lodging support for reserve component forces, requiring meticulous compliance with FAR regulations and a focus on mission-critical service delivery. Severson maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors such as Compass Medical Provider LLC and Markelty, LLC, both of which provide specialized lodging and support services tailored to military operational requirements. Her working relationships reflect a preference for established, reliable contractors with proven capacity to deliver scalable, on-site hospitality solutions under dynamic conditions. These partnerships are characterized by long-term contract performance, clear performance metrics, and a shared commitment to meeting the unique demands of Army National Guard facilities. A strong advocate for small business participation, Severson consistently prioritizes Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with 75% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to foster economic opportunity within the defense supply chain while ensuring competitive, responsive service delivery. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a steadfast adherence to small business goals, with minimal use of no-set-aside procurements, reinforcing the agency’s commitment to inclusive procurement practices. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 721110—Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels—where she specializes in securing temporary and long-term lodging infrastructure, including room accommodations, housekeeping, front desk operations, and related hospitality services. Severson’s expertise lies in evaluating facility readiness, service-level agreements, and compliance with military housing standards, making her a key steward of quality-of-life support for reserve component service members.
