Sharon Macauley

Sharon Macauley serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports the agency’s mission by delivering timely, cost-effective solutions for critical infrastructure and professional services. Her portfolio primarily consists of construction and engineering procurements, where she navigates complex technical specifications and ensures adherence to statutory procurement frameworks, including competitive bidding and small business set-asides. While no specific contractor relationships are identified, her contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering commercial and institutional building construction services, as well as architectural and engineering design professionals. She cultivates partnerships with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, emphasizing transparency, fair competition, and performance-based contract management. Sharon demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 88.9% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 11.1% of her awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her approach reflects a balanced commitment to maximizing competition while ensuring opportunities for small businesses to compete on a level playing field, though she does not routinely utilize specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), which accounts for nearly 78% of her activity, reflecting expertise in managing projects involving new construction, renovations, and facility upgrades. She also regularly procures NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services) and 541330 (Engineering Services), indicating deep technical familiarity with design-build delivery methods, construction documentation standards, and project management protocols essential to public infrastructure development.
