Sherry L. Carner

Sherry L. Carner serves as a Contracting Officer for the W6QM Micc-ft Belvoir under the Department of the Army, where she manages a diverse portfolio of mission-enabling acquisitions critical to the sustainment and operational readiness of U.S. Army installations. Her responsibilities include the full lifecycle procurement of facility maintenance, logistical support, and ancillary services essential to military infrastructure integrity. She routinely handles complex contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 13 procedures, focusing on service-based requirements such as janitorial, landscaping, HVAC, religious support, and building systems maintenance, ensuring compliance with federal regulations and installation-specific operational needs. Carner maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of trusted vendors, including Discount Tree Service, Inc., Ace Uniform Services, Inc., Quality Biological, Inc., Liberty Communications, Inc., and Special Event Flooring Technology, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized, niche providers capable of delivering high-quality, on-site services tailored to the unique demands of military installations. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory adherence, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear scope definition and rigorous contract administration. Her procurement patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 40% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable 3.7% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of her acquisitions are open to all competitors, her deliberate use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a strategic effort to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms within the defense support sector. Carner’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 541611 (management consulting services), 561990 (other support services), and 332999 (miscellaneous fabricated metal products), reflecting her specialization in administrative, facility support, and specialized equipment procurement. She regularly acquires services related to environmental maintenance, uniform logistics, chemical product supply, and temporary infrastructure solutions, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with the operational ecosystems sustaining Army installations.
