Sharon M. Lim

Sharon M. Lim serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing complex professional services acquisitions across a broad spectrum of technical and scientific domains. In her role, she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through competitive, transparent, and efficient contracting processes. She routinely handles sole-source, sealed bid, and negotiated procurements for high-value professional services, with a focus on engineering, research and development, and general technical support. Her work directly supports the agency’s operational readiness and innovation goals by securing specialized expertise from qualified vendors. While no specific contractor relationships are identifiable due to limited award data, Sharon consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including large primes and small businesses, to fulfill technical requirements under full and open competition. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development, fostering accountability and measurable outcomes. She maintains rigorous oversight of contract administration, ensuring adherence to terms, conditions, and delivery schedules across the lifecycle of each acquisition. Sharon’s set-aside preferences reveal a strong inclination toward full and open competition, with 96.2% of her awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 3.9% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing competition while ensuring eligible small businesses have meaningful access to opportunities when appropriate.
