Kadi-Jah Sheridan

Kadi-Jah Sheridan serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-APG Cont Ct Wash Ofc, supporting the U.S. Army’s mission to enhance C5ISR capabilities for land and expeditionary forces. Responsible for managing complex acquisitions in electro-optic/infrared sensor systems, precision navigation and guidance technologies, and ruggedized power generation solutions, Sheridan ensures that contracting actions align with operational readiness requirements. Their work bridges technical innovation with acquisition compliance, facilitating the rapid fielding of mission-critical systems through strategic sourcing and risk-informed contract execution. Sheridan maintains consistent procurement relationships with CUMMINS POWER GENERATION INC., reflecting a strong reliance on industrial power systems expertise. Their contracting patterns indicate a preference for established industrial suppliers with proven capabilities in ruggedized, field-deployable hardware, while also engaging with specialized engineering and component manufacturers. Vendor partnerships are characterized by technical rigor and performance-based requirements, emphasizing reliability under extreme environmental conditions. A pronounced commitment to small business participation is evident in Sheridan’s set-aside preferences, with 50% of acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Additional allocations include 8(a) competed awards and SBA Certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Business (EDWOSB) set-asides, demonstrating a deliberate strategy to foster diversity and innovation among socioeconomically disadvantaged firms. This pattern reflects a balanced approach to sustaining industrial base resilience while expanding access for underrepresented vendors. The primary technical focus centers on NAICS 333120 (Construction Machinery Manufacturing), 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing), and 335999 (Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment), underscoring expertise in power systems, electromechanical components, and ruggedized industrial hardware. Complementary engineering services under NAICS 541330 further support integration of sensor and navigation technologies into expeditionary platforms, positioning Sheridan as a specialist in defense-critical electro-mechanical systems procurement.
