Sharon Alexander

Sharon Alexander serves as a key procurement professional responsible for managing complex construction and infrastructure-related acquisitions across federal programs. She plays a central role in executing the agency’s mission to deliver critical public works through competitive contracting processes, with a focus on heavy civil engineering, water and sewer systems, and associated infrastructure services. Her portfolio includes the full lifecycle management of solicitations, evaluations, and contract awards under FAR Part 36, ensuring compliance with federal construction standards and sustainable procurement practices. Alexander maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors specializing in large-scale civil works, including Grunley Construction Co., Inc., Great Lakes Dredge & Dock Co., LLC, and Curtin Maritime Corp., reflecting a preference for experienced, high-capacity firms capable of delivering multi-year, mission-critical projects. She also partners with smaller, specialized firms such as Matthews Group Inc. and Cherohenaka Nottoway Enterprises, LLC, indicating a balanced approach that integrates both large industry leaders and niche service providers in the execution of complex infrastructure initiatives. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong emphasis on open competition, with 65.5% of awards issued without set-aside designations. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 27.3% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 7.3% to 8(a) competed contracts, reflecting a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity while maintaining program integrity. Alexander’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 237110 (Water and Sewer Line and Related Structures Construction), underscoring her expertise in public works infrastructure. She also regularly procures landscaping services (561730) and electrical installation (238210), demonstrating a multidisciplinary approach to facility and environmental infrastructure development. Her technical domain centers on durable, long-term civil assets requiring rigorous performance standards and regulatory compliance.
