Sharon D Bailey

Sharon D. Bailey serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. She specializes in complex construction and architectural services contracts, guiding requirements development, source selection, contract award, and post-award administration. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver mission-critical infrastructure and design services through competitive, fair, and accountable contracting processes. She routinely handles sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 14 and Part 15, with a focus on delivering high-quality, timely outcomes for public infrastructure projects. While specific contractor names are not available, Sharon maintains a broad network of qualified vendors, including general contractors, design-build firms, and architectural practices with proven technical capacity in commercial and institutional construction. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor performance, past performance evaluation, and risk mitigation, fostering long-term partnerships with firms that demonstrate reliability, compliance, and technical excellence. She engages with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors to ensure robust competition and contract fulfillment. Sharon’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 90% of her awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating approximately 10% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate effort to promote economic opportunity while maintaining competitive rigor, though she does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB-specific authorities at scale. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she manages projects involving new construction, renovations, and facility upgrades for government-owned properties. She also procures NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services) for design, planning, and construction documentation. Her technical expertise spans building codes, construction management, and design standards, positioning her as a trusted advisor in infrastructure acquisition and facility development.
