Jim Sharp

Jim L. Sharp serves as a Team Leader responsible for overseeing the planning, solicitation, and award of real estate and property-related acquisitions within his organization. In this capacity, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning contractual actions with operational needs related to facility management and land use. His portfolio primarily encompasses leases, property management services, and long-term real estate agreements, requiring a nuanced understanding of FAR Part 17 and real property acquisition statutes. He collaborates closely with program managers, financial officers, and legal advisors to structure acquisitions that optimize value, mitigate risk, and support mission-critical infrastructure requirements. Mr. Sharp’s contractor relationships are centered on real estate lessors, property management firms, and facilities services providers who specialize in commercial and institutional space leasing. He engages with a broad spectrum of vendors, from large national real estate investment trusts to regional property operators, fostering transparent and competitive bidding environments. His approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear deliverables tied to occupancy standards, maintenance obligations, and lease compliance, ensuring accountability across the contract lifecycle. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on market-wide competition rather than socioeconomic programs. This suggests a mission-driven prioritization of capability, cost-effectiveness, and scalability over targeted socioeconomic categories, though he remains compliant with all applicable small business regulations. Mr. Sharp’s expertise is concentrated in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), with significant activity in parking facilities (812930) and residential leasing (531110). He routinely procures long-term leases for office spaces, operational facilities, and ancillary infrastructure, demonstrating deep familiarity with real estate market dynamics, tenant improvement allowances, and property maintenance obligations. His technical domain centers on the intersection of federal facility needs and commercial real estate solutions.
