Sharon Hilton

Sharon Hilton serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that support the modernization and sustainment of Air Force operational capabilities. Her work centers on securing professional services critical to mission readiness, particularly in systems engineering, technical assistance, cybersecurity infrastructure, and enterprise IT modernization. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from requirements definition through award and performance management—ensuring alignment with Air Force strategic priorities and federal acquisition regulations. Her portfolio is highly technical, emphasizing advisory and analytical services that underpin mission-critical decision-making. Hilton maintains strong, long-term relationships with primary contractors SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, both of which provide high-value systems engineering, technical analysis, and advanced research support. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, mission-aligned entities with proven expertise in defense-oriented technical domains. Her contracting patterns suggest a focus on performance-based, outcome-driven engagements rather than transactional service delivery, with an emphasis on sustained collaboration over multiple contract periods. Hilton’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a prioritization of technical capability and mission fit over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the agency’s need for specialized, non-commoditized expertise where qualified small businesses may be limited in capacity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting demand for advanced IT consulting, data analytics, and systems integration. Secondary emphasis on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) and 721110 (Hotels and Motels) suggests support for both software development environments and temporary lodging for mission personnel. Her domain expertise spans cybersecurity, enterprise IT modernization, and technical advisory services critical to Air Force operational resilience.
