Sharon Freeman

Sharon Freeman supports the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency in executing critical procurement activities that sustain and modernize the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. Though her official title is not publicly listed, her role centers on managing complex acquisitions for mission-critical telecom services, including secure network connectivity, virtual private network deployment, and legacy system modernization. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring the agency’s procurement strategy aligns with DISA’s mission to deliver resilient, high-capacity, and interoperable communications for military and federal operations, consistently prioritizing performance, security, and scalability in contract awards. Freeman maintains established relationships with a core group of prime contractors including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, large-scale service providers with proven capabilities in secure telecom engineering, fiber-optic infrastructure, and enterprise-grade network solutions. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established vendors with deep technical expertise in DoD-compliant communications systems, suggesting a focus on reliability and continuity over competitive bidding cycles. Freeman’s procurement portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the Telecommunications Division’s operational imperatives. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, the absence of set-asides underscores a focus on selecting vendors based on technical merit and proven performance in high-stakes defense environments. Her primary procurement activity falls under NAICS 561499 — All Other Business Support Services — indicating a focus on integrated telecom support services rather than hardware procurement. This includes managed network services, cybersecurity-enabled communications infrastructure, and technical operations support critical to maintaining the DoD’s global information grid. Freeman’s expertise lies in procuring mission-critical, non-commodity telecom services that demand rigorous compliance with DoD cybersecurity standards and interoperability protocols.
