Sabrina N. Sheridan

Sabrina N. Sheridan serves as a Contracting Officer with the Headquarters, Air Force Materiel Command (FA5066), where she plays a pivotal role in securing advanced aerospace and analytical instrumentation critical to Air Force mission readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for high-precision laboratory-grade equipment, sensor systems, and communications platforms that support aircraft modernization, weapons system validation, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with the Department of the Air Force’s imperative to sustain technological superiority through cutting-edge test and evaluation infrastructure. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Sheridan’s procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with specialized manufacturers of analytical laboratory instruments and defense-grade electronic systems. She cultivates partnerships with firms possessing deep technical expertise in instrumentation design, calibration, and system integration, ensuring compliance with stringent military specifications and quality assurance standards. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based requirements and rigorous technical evaluation to secure mission-critical solutions. Sheridan demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her portfolio remains open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides signals a deliberate effort to expand the defense industrial base and foster innovation from emerging vendors. She does not appear to prioritize other socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, focusing instead on broad small business eligibility. Her procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 334516—Analytical Laboratory Instrument Manufacturing—reflecting deep specialization in the acquisition of mass spectrometers, chromatographs, environmental test chambers, and precision calibration systems. This technical domain requires intimate knowledge of metrology standards, electromagnetic compatibility, and environmental stress screening, positioning Sheridan as a subject matter expert in procuring mission-critical analytical equipment for aerospace and defense applications.
