Sharan A. Lind

Sharan Lind serves as the primary Point of Contact for the U.S. Coast Guard’s Facility Acquisition Division under FDCC(00047), facilitating the planning, solicitation, and administration of construction and infrastructure modernization contracts critical to operational readiness. In this role, Lind coordinates closely with engineering, facilities management, and program offices to translate mission requirements into compliant, well-defined solicitations under the National Defense Authorization Act framework. Their procurement portfolio centers on mission-critical facilities including training centers, command hubs, and family housing, ensuring alignment with Coast Guard standards for 24/7 maritime operational support and sustainability. Lind maintains consistent working relationships with leading construction and systems integration firms, including FIBER BUSINESS SOLUTIONS GROUP INC, WHITING-TURNER CONTRACTING COMPANY, and RQ CONSTRUCTION, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, full-service contractors capable of delivering complex commercial and institutional building projects with integrated mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems. The working model emphasizes performance-based contracting, design-build delivery, and rigorous quality assurance protocols to meet stringent federal facility standards. Set-asides are used selectively, with 87.5% of procurements conducted under full and open competition and only 12.5% designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic focus on capacity and capability over socioeconomic categorization, while still maintaining a measurable commitment to small business inclusion through targeted opportunities in niche construction trades. The majority of acquisitions fall under NAICS 236220 for Commercial and Institutional Building Construction, complemented by NAICS 238220 for plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning systems and NAICS 541330 for engineering services. Lind’s expertise lies in managing integrated facility upgrades requiring coordination among architectural, structural, and utility systems to support Coast Guard’s enduring infrastructure modernization priorities.
