Sharon F. Pierce serves as a key procurement lead within the 242-NETWORK Contract Office 02 (36C242) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and support services essential to veteran healthcare delivery. Her responsibilities center on managing complex construction and engineering contracts that modernize VA medical facilities, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and alignment with the agency’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and technologically advanced healthcare environments. She routinely handles firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on facility renovations, clinical equipment installation, and specialty trade services. Pierce maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, SAWTOOTH CONSTRUCTION JV II LLC, and J & J MECHANICAL AND CONSTRUCTION GROUP LLC, reflecting a preference for experienced, vertically integrated firms capable of delivering multi-disciplinary construction and maintenance solutions. Her procurement patterns emphasize long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance history, technical capability, and reliability in high-stakes healthcare environments, often coordinating with facility engineers and clinical stakeholders to align contract deliverables with operational needs. Her contracting approach prioritizes small business participation, with a strong emphasis on Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, which account for over one-third of her awards, alongside a notable commitment to general Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, her consistent use of socioeconomic preferences demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster veteran-owned enterprise growth within the federal construction sector. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), reflecting her leadership in large-scale facility upgrades, with secondary activity in engineering services (541330) and specialty trade contracting (238990). She specializes in procuring integrated construction packages that combine structural, mechanical, and electrical systems to support the operational integrity of VA medical centers.
