Sharon A. Hilton

Sharon A. Hilton serves as a key procurement professional within Washington Headquarters Services, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to modernize institutional management systems and enhance enterprise-wide operational efficiency. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on administrative, technical, and research services that enable DoD-wide decision-making and digital transformation. Her work centers on securing expert consulting, engineering research, and infrastructure support services critical to sustaining defense enterprise functions, with a strong emphasis on compliance, strategic sourcing, and mission-aligned contract execution. Hilton maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including CLARITY INNOVATIONS LLC, CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, SIGNATURE RENOVATIONS LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and GUIDEHOUSE INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in management consulting, technical research, and facility modernization. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a reliance on experienced vendors capable of delivering complex, high-integrity services under strict DoD oversight, often requiring security clearances and institutional knowledge of federal systems. Her procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 91.5% of awards issued under no set-aside provisions, indicating a focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is limited, she does engage in Total Small Business Set-Asides (6.4%) and 8(a) competed awards (2.1%), reflecting a measured but compliant commitment to socioeconomic goals within a primarily large-business-driven acquisition environment. Hilton’s primary NAICS focus areas include 541712 and 541715 for physical and engineering research services, 541611 for administrative and management consulting, and 519190 and 511210 for information services and publishing. These reflect a specialization in technical research, systems optimization, and institutional advisory services—core competencies required to support WHS’s mission of enterprise modernization and defense infrastructure sustainment.
