Sherry Balmain

Sherry Balmain serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QM Micc-ft Benning, a critical installation support unit under the Department of the Army. Responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain military readiness, Balmain oversees contracts essential to facility integrity, environmental compliance, and operational infrastructure. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and mission-enabling environments for Army training and garrison operations. She typically handles service-based procurements requiring technical specificity in environmental remediation, hazardous material management, and installation support services, ensuring alignment with Army sustainability and regulatory standards. Balmain maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in environmental services, agricultural chemical applications, and mission-aligned support functions. While specific vendor names are not publicly disclosed, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms possessing niche expertise in soil and groundwater remediation, pest control systems, and installation-scale logistical support. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, requiring stringent compliance with federal environmental regulations and quality assurance protocols, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability and technical proficiency. Balmain demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize economic opportunity for small, disadvantaged, and locally based firms, aligning with Department of the Army socioeconomic goals. Her contracting portfolio consistently prioritizes small business eligibility, ensuring broad access to federal opportunities without reliance on large prime contractors. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), reflecting deep expertise in hazardous substance cleanup and environmental restoration. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 325320 (Pesticide and Agricultural Chemical Manufacturing) for integrated pest management and NAICS 813110 (Religious Organizations), indicating support for morale, welfare, and chaplaincy-related installation services. This unique blend underscores her ability to manage complex, mission-critical acquisitions across diverse technical domains.
