Sharla Blalock

Sharla Blalock serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl under the Department of the Air Force, supporting mission-critical infrastructure and operational readiness through specialized acquisition planning and contract administration. While not a primary contracting officer, she plays a vital role in facilitating the execution of maintenance, medical, and facility services contracts that sustain Air Force installations. Her work ensures alignment between operational requirements and procurement strategies, particularly in areas requiring technical precision and regulatory compliance, including medical equipment support, communications systems, and facility modernization initiatives. Blalock maintains consistent engagement with a core group of contractors including WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C, and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven experience in installation support, technical training, and niche service delivery. Her procurement patterns suggest collaborative, relationship-driven interactions, often involving repeat engagements with vendors who demonstrate reliability in delivering complex, mission-aligned services under tight operational timelines. Her contracting portfolio exhibits a strong emphasis on small business participation, with 73.3% of acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity and leverage the agility of small businesses in addressing dynamic installation needs. While no specific socioeconomic categories are dominant, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a commitment to inclusive contracting practices aligned with Department of the Air Force goals. The primary NAICS codes she supports include 611430 for professional and management development training and 517312 for wireless telecommunications resellers, indicating a focus on workforce readiness and communications infrastructure. Additional activity in 339112 (medical instrument manufacturing) and 621512 (diagnostic imaging centers) suggests involvement in sustaining medical support systems, while the inclusion of 811192 (car washes) points to facility services procurement. Her expertise lies in bridging technical service requirements with compliant, small business-led acquisition pathways.
