Sharlene M. McCubbin

Sharlene M. McCubbin serves as a Senior Contract Specialist, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions across a diverse range of support services. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations, including the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and plays a critical part in advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing and contract administration. Her portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts requiring rigorous evaluation of technical capability, past performance, and socioeconomic compliance. She routinely handles competitive procurements under sealed bid and negotiated procedures, with a strong emphasis on risk mitigation and contract performance oversight. While specific contractor names are not available, Sharlene maintains a consistent pattern of engagement with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses, professional services firms, and temporary staffing providers. Her procurement approach emphasizes fair and open competition, fostering partnerships with both large and small entities capable of delivering high-quality support services under performance-based contract structures. She is known for clear communication, thorough documentation, and a collaborative approach to vendor engagement throughout the acquisition process. Sharlene demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 31% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides, including Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed contracts. Her pattern reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small disadvantaged businesses while maintaining competitive integrity. Though the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, her consistent use of set-asides underscores her alignment with federal goals to promote equitable access to government contracting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 721110 (hotels and motels), 561990 (all other support services), and 541330 (engineering services), indicating expertise in facility support, administrative services, and technical consulting. She regularly procures lodging, temporary staffing, document management, and professional engineering solutions, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of service delivery requirements across both operational and technical domains.
