Joann Sharp

Joann Sharp serves as a Program Planner, responsible for defining, coordinating, and overseeing the acquisition strategy for mission-critical information and digital services. In this role, she translates program objectives into structured procurement actions, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and agency operational needs. Her work bridges planning and execution, enabling timely delivery of services through well-defined solicitation requirements, evaluation criteria, and contract management frameworks. She typically handles non-construction, service-based acquisitions centered on data-driven solutions and digital infrastructure support. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable in the available data, Sharp’s procurement approach emphasizes competitive, open market engagements with a broad range of vendors capable of delivering specialized information services. Her working patterns reflect a preference for performance-based contracting and outcome-oriented requirements, encouraging innovation and scalability from both large and small industry participants. She engages with vendors through formal RFPs and competitive negotiations, prioritizing clarity in statement of work development and measurable deliverables. Sharp’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market participation and ensure the broadest possible access to technical capabilities, without reliance on socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. Her approach prioritizes technical merit and value over socioeconomic categorization, consistent with a mission-focused procurement philosophy. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 519190—Other Information Services—which encompasses a wide array of digital content delivery, data aggregation, web-based information platforms, and ancillary information technology support services. She procures solutions including online research tools, data analytics platforms, digital publishing systems, and cloud-based information management services, demonstrating deep expertise in the evolving landscape of non-traditional information technology procurement.
