Sharon J. Arnett

Sharon J. Arnett serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirement analysis and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical supply chain objectives. Her acquisitions primarily involve industrial products and specialized manufacturing goods, with a strong emphasis on technical specifications and performance-based contracting. Arnett works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align procurement strategy with operational needs, ensuring timely delivery of high-quality materials essential to government operations. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable due to data limitations, Arnett’s procurement patterns indicate a preference for established manufacturers and suppliers with proven capacity in chemical and industrial production. She engages with a broad base of vendors, including both large-scale producers and qualified small businesses, fostering competitive bidding environments that prioritize technical capability, quality assurance, and delivery reliability. Her contracting approach emphasizes transparency, fair competition, and adherence to FAR guidelines. Arnett’s set-aside preferences reflect a strong orientation toward open competition, with 95.6% of her awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating approximately 2.9% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 1.5% to Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses. This pattern demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising acquisition efficiency or mission readiness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325510 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing) and 325520 (Adhesive Manufacturing), accounting for over 90% of her activity, indicating deep expertise in chemical formulations, industrial coatings, and bonding systems. She also procures specialized cleaning tools under NAICS 339994 and surface preparation services under NAICS 238320. Arnett’s technical domain expertise centers on performance-driven specifications for durable, environmentally compliant, and mission-critical industrial products.
