Sarah Shepherd

Sarah Shepherd supports the Department of the Air Force’s FA8601 Aflcmc Pzio office in executing mission-critical procurement activities focused on sustaining airpower readiness through the acquisition of high-precision analytical instruments, electrotherapeutic and electromedical devices, and industrial measurement systems. She manages contracts for laboratory-grade equipment used in flight testing, fuel analysis, and environmental monitoring, ensuring compliance with stringent defense and aerospace standards. Her work directly enables the operational integrity of maintenance, testing, and diagnostic capabilities essential to aircraft systems and mission support infrastructure. Shepherd maintains a primary working relationship with C MARTIN CO INC, a trusted vendor providing specialized repair, calibration, and maintenance services for complex instrumentation. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-based partnerships with vendors capable of delivering technical expertise in electromechanical systems, analytical device servicing, and industrial maintenance. These relationships are characterized by recurring task orders and sustained service agreements rather than one-time procurements, emphasizing reliability and technical continuity. Her procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a priority on technical capability and performance over socioeconomic preferences. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting approach remains aligned with federal acquisition regulations and emphasizes merit-based vendor selection based on technical qualifications and past performance. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 811219 (repair and maintenance of commercial and industrial machinery), 811310 (industrial equipment servicing), and 561210, 561720, and 562910 for facilities support, janitorial, and remediation services. This reflects a broad operational footprint requiring integrated technical and environmental services to maintain mission-critical laboratories and test facilities. Her expertise lies in procuring specialized, regulated equipment and services that meet exacting aerospace and defense standards.
