Sharon K. Hammond

Sharon K. Hammond serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force under FA5613, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions supporting mission-critical infrastructure and aviation sustainment. Her role encompasses solicitation development, source selection, contract award, and post-award administration for a diverse range of goods and services essential to airpower readiness. She specializes in acquisitions involving facility operations, aircraft support equipment, and communications systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven efficiency. Hammond’s work directly enables the agency’s focus on reliability, resilience, and operational continuity across its global footprint. Her primary contractor relationship is with OPTIMUM CLEAN GMBH, indicating a consistent reliance on specialized vendors for niche technical or industrial services. While her portfolio includes a mix of commercial and fabricated product suppliers, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, non-traditional vendors with proven capability in specialized manufacturing and distribution channels. These partnerships are typically non-competitive or limited-source, suggesting a focus on technical specificity rather than broad market competition. Hammond’s contracting activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a strategic emphasis on open competition and commercial-off-the-shelf solutions over socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This pattern underscores a mission-first approach prioritizing capability, availability, and technical fit over socioeconomic objectives, consistent with the agency’s operational imperatives. Her NAICS focus centers on 713990 (amusement and recreation), 332321 (metal window and door manufacturing), 332999 (miscellaneous fabricated metal products), 423120 (motor vehicle parts wholesale), and 424990 (other nondurable goods wholesale). These categories suggest procurement of specialized facility components, metal fabrication, and logistics support items—indicating expertise in industrial supply chain management for non-traditional defense applications, including facility maintenance and equipment support systems.
