Sharon A. Doerk

Sharon A. Doerk serves as a Contracting Officer for the C5I Division 3 Portsmouth within the U.S. Coast Guard, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical command, control, communications, computers, cyber, and intelligence (C5I) systems. Her portfolio supports the modernization of maritime surveillance, navigation, and secure communication infrastructure essential to national security and operational resilience. She oversees full lifecycle procurement activities for complex technical solutions, including software development, systems integration, and cybersecurity-enabled hardware, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with Coast Guard strategic priorities. Doerk maintains consistent procurement relationships with TRIMBLE INC, a primary vendor for advanced geospatial and navigation technologies, alongside a network of IT service providers specializing in custom programming and infrastructure support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk-managed vendor partnerships, and long-term sustainment of integrated C5I architectures. She engages with both large primes and mid-tier contractors capable of delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable solutions for maritime domain awareness. Her set-aside preferences reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 97.2% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Only 2.8% are allocated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a preference for technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic targeting, though she remains compliant with all statutory small business obligations. Doerk’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), 423430 (Computer and Peripheral Equipment Wholesalers), and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), reflecting her specialization in acquiring software-defined systems, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware, and mission-specific data processing services. Her technical domain expertise centers on secure communications, cyber-physical system integration, and cloud-enabled computing infrastructure supporting Coast Guard operational missions.
