Sharon Hartman

Sharon G. Hartman serves as a Strategic Contract Specialist, responsible for managing complex acquisition initiatives within the federal procurement framework. She designs and executes solicitation strategies for high-value technical contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned outcomes. Her work centers on the procurement of advanced aerospace and industrial manufacturing systems, where she leverages deep expertise in source selection, contract negotiation, and performance-based acquisition methodologies. Hartman plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement decisions with national defense and industrial base priorities, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical components. Hartman collaborates with a diverse range of prime contractors and subcontractors specializing in aerospace propulsion, turbine systems, and precision-engineered components. Her working relationships are characterized by long-term partnerships with manufacturers possessing technical certifications and proven performance in high-reliability environments. She prioritizes vendors with robust quality management systems, including AS9100 and ISO 9001 compliance, and actively engages in pre-solicitation outreach to foster competitive bidding and innovation. Hartman’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as non-set-aside. While she does not routinely utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, she ensures full and open competition remains accessible to all qualified vendors, including small businesses that compete on technical merit and capacity. Her approach prioritizes market fairness and performance outcomes over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333611 (turbine and turbine generator set manufacturing), 336413 (other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment), and 336412 (aircraft engine and engine parts). She specializes in acquiring high-performance propulsion systems, precision turbine components, and engineered sealing and piping systems used in defense and aviation applications. Hartman’s technical expertise spans thermodynamic systems, materials science, and aerospace manufacturing standards, positioning her as a key liaison between engineering requirements and acquisition execution.
