Robert Sheridan

Robert Sheridan serves as a secondary contracting support professional within the 0410 AQ HQ Contract Office of the U.S. Army, contributing to the procurement of mission-enabling services critical to installation readiness and force sustainment. Though not the lead contracting officer, he plays a vital role in supporting the acquisition lifecycle for hospitality, transportation, training, and logistics support contracts. His work ensures that essential services—from lodging and vehicle rental to professional development and logistics consulting—are procured efficiently to maintain operational continuity for both garrisoned and deployed Army personnel. He collaborates closely with lead contracting teams to ensure compliance with FAR guidelines and alignment with strategic force support objectives. Sheridan’s contractor relationships are diverse, encompassing both large-scale service providers and small business vendors across the hospitality, transportation, and professional services sectors. He engages with vendors offering passenger car rentals, hotel accommodations, management training, and logistics consulting services, fostering partnerships that balance reliability with socioeconomic goals. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his workflow consistently involves coordination with firms capable of delivering scalable, mission-critical support under time-sensitive conditions. His procurement approach reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 72.2% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. Nevertheless, he actively supports small business participation, with 25% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and a notable 2.8% allocated to local area set-asides under FAR 26.2, reinforcing community economic resilience. His contracting patterns demonstrate balanced adherence to socioeconomic mandates without compromising mission needs. Sheridan’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 532111 (passenger car rental), 611430 (professional and management development training), 721110 (hotels and motels), 541614 (logistics consulting), and 532490 (commercial equipment rental). These reflect deep expertise in sustaining daily operations through mobility, workforce readiness, lodging, and logistical infrastructure—core pillars of Army force support.
