Mallory Sharpe

Mallory Sharpe serves as a key procurement professional at the Denver Federal Center under the Bureau of Reclamation, Department of the Interior, where she manages acquisitions critical to the modernization of western U.S. water infrastructure. Her responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts for heavy civil engineering, environmental monitoring systems, and operational support services that ensure the integrity of hydraulic structures and the accuracy of hydrologic data collection. She plays a central role in advancing the agency’s mission by aligning procurement strategies with technical requirements for ecosystem restoration and water resource management, frequently handling complex, mission-critical contracts requiring specialized engineering and scientific expertise. Sharpe maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including AECOM Technical Services, Inc., Frontiers Precision Inc., and BenchLab LLC, each bringing niche capabilities in environmental consulting, precision instrumentation, and technical field services. She also collaborates regularly with BMACK Interpreting L.L.C. and Royal Media Network, Inc., reflecting a diverse vendor base that supports both technical and administrative operational needs. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and long-term vendor performance, fostering partnerships with firms that demonstrate proven experience in federal water resource environments. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with 42.9% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for qualified small entities. While no specific socioeconomic set-asides (e.g., 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB) dominate, the consistent use of small business set-asides indicates a structured preference for fostering competition and innovation among smaller, agile contractors. Sharpe’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), followed by 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 238210 (Electrical Contractors). She routinely procures environmental data collection systems, hydrologic monitoring equipment, precision electrical installations, and specialized civil construction services essential to maintaining federal water infrastructure across arid and semi-arid regions. Her technical domain expertise centers on integrating sensor networks, structural assessments, and ecosystem restoration methodologies into mission-critical procurement outcomes.
