Toni Cheek

Toni Cheek serves as a Contracting Officer for the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (00040) within the U.S. Coast Guard, responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized marine equipment and propulsion systems critical to fleet readiness and vessel modernization. Her portfolio centers on the lifecycle sustainment of Coast Guard cutters and auxiliary maritime assets, overseeing full-spectrum contracting activities from requirements development through contract award and administration. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic priorities in operational endurance, safety, and technological modernization of the Coast Guard’s maritime infrastructure. Cheek maintains long-standing relationships with a select group of industry partners, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These vendors are recognized for their technical proficiency in marine electrical systems, vessel repair, and propulsion component manufacturing. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and consistent vendor accountability, fostering reliable, mission-critical supply chains for high-stakes maritime operations. Notably, Cheek’s acquisition strategy reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic preferences. This reflects a deliberate focus on technical capability and mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic targeting, prioritizing proven performance and specialized expertise in highly regulated marine engineering environments. Her primary procurement activity is concentrated under NAICS 333618 — Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing — indicating deep specialization in the acquisition of marine propulsion systems, auxiliary engines, and integrated powertrain components. She routinely procures custom-engineered mechanical and electrical systems designed for harsh maritime conditions, demonstrating expertise in technical specifications, compliance with MIL-SPEC standards, and lifecycle support for mission-essential Coast Guard assets.
