Sharon A. Lawrence

Sharon A. Lawrence serves as a Procurement Analyst with the W072 Endist Detroit under the Department of the Army, where she plays a pivotal role in executing civil engineering and infrastructure acquisition strategies critical to military logistics and environmental resilience. She supports the planning, solicitation, and award of contracts for large-scale waterway, harbor, and dredging projects, ensuring alignment with Army Corps of Engineers standards and federal procurement regulations. Her work directly enables the sustainment and modernization of vital civil works infrastructure, including breakwaters, navigation channels, and coastal protection systems, primarily through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 14 and Part 15. Lawrence maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including KOONTZ ELECTRIC COMPANY, INCORPORATED, STRATUS SECURITY MANAGEMENT INC, MORRISH-WALLACE CONSTRUCTION, INC., GREAT LAKES DOCK AND MATERIALS, L.L.C., and TOGIAK MANAGEMENT SERVICES LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, marine infrastructure, and security integration for federal installations. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical capability, and past performance in complex, high-risk environments, fostering long-term contractor engagement grounded in compliance and performance accountability. A strong advocate for small business participation, Lawrence consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, accounting for 62.5% of her acquisitions, with an additional 12.5% designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity within the defense industrial base, ensuring that small, qualified firms have equitable access to mission-critical infrastructure contracts. Her procurement focus is overwhelmingly centered on NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), reflecting deep expertise in waterway construction, dredging, and marine structure development. She also manages select commercial and institutional building projects under NAICS 236220, but her primary domain is heavy civil works—requiring specialized knowledge in geotechnical engineering, hydraulic systems, and environmental compliance.
