Sharon Masciana

Sharon Masciana serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex service acquisitions within a federal agency, with a strong emphasis on training, management consulting, and professional technical services. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s mission by ensuring timely, compliant, and strategic sourcing of high-value professional services. Her acquisitions primarily support workforce development, organizational effectiveness, and operational modernization, often involving performance-based contracts under FAR Part 37. She routinely handles solicitations requiring detailed statement of work, clear performance metrics, and rigorous vendor evaluation criteria, ensuring alignment with agency objectives and regulatory compliance. Her contractor relationships center on professional services firms delivering training, management consulting, and technical support solutions. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she maintains consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses, professional associations, and specialized consulting firms. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, transparent evaluation processes, and long-term vendor performance monitoring to ensure accountability and value delivery across contract lifecycles. Sharon demonstrates a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 35% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides. Her preferences include Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 as the most frequently utilized mechanism, followed by 8(a) competed awards and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides. She strategically leverages these programs to foster market diversity, promote equitable access, and strengthen the federal small business ecosystem through intentional, compliant set-aside utilization. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), reflecting a deep specialization in leadership development, compliance training, and organizational learning solutions. She also regularly procures administrative and general management consulting services (NAICS 541611) and broader professional technical services (NAICS 541990), indicating expertise in human capital development, process improvement, and institutional capacity building across public sector operations.
