Sharmaine D.m. Lomax

Sharmaine D.M. Lomax supports the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL within the Department of the Air Force, playing a critical role in the acquisition and sustainment of aerospace and space-based systems essential to national defense. Though her formal title is not publicly listed, her procurement activities center on maintaining operational readiness for guided missile systems, satellite communications, and global positioning infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of non-core, indirect support contracts that enable the technical and logistical sustainment of high-priority defense platforms, ensuring mission continuity through timely and compliant contracting actions. While specific contractor names are not available, Lomax’s contracting patterns reflect engagement with a broad spectrum of vendors providing facility services, waste management, building maintenance, and specialized IT support. Her work fosters partnerships with both large-capacity service providers and small businesses capable of delivering niche technical and operational support under time-sensitive conditions. The nature of her acquisitions suggests a preference for agile, performance-based contracts that align with mission-critical sustainment timelines and regulatory compliance requirements. Lomax demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 42.9% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small business participation, particularly among firms certified under standard small business programs, though no specific preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB status is evident in the data. Her approach aligns with Air Force directives to expand small business access to defense-related service contracts. Her primary NAICS focus includes linen supply, building services, nonhazardous waste disposal, and computer-related services—indicating expertise in procuring essential but often overlooked support functions that underpin the operational environment of aerospace and space systems. This unique blend of technical oversight and service acquisition highlights her ability to integrate logistical sustainment with mission-critical defense operations.
