Sharon Newsome

Sharon Newsome serves as a key procurement lead within the W076 Endist Tulsa office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical military infrastructure across Army installations. Her work centers on civil engineering, environmental remediation, and facility operations contracts, ensuring compliance with federal environmental regulations and supporting the Army’s mission to maintain operational readiness through resilient infrastructure. She routinely handles complex, multi-year task orders and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts requiring technical expertise in hazardous material handling, site restoration, and heavy construction support. Newsome maintains strong, long-term relationships with a core group of contractors including BL Harbert International LLC, Alberici Constructors Inc., MCMillen, Inc., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and Perikin Enterprises LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven capabilities in environmental remediation, hazardous waste management, and large-scale civil construction. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous compliance oversight, and consistent contractor accountability across mission-critical projects. A strong advocate for socioeconomic diversity in contracting, Newsome prioritizes small business participation, with 8(a) competed set-asides accounting for two-thirds of her awards and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 making up the remainder. This pattern demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster opportunities for disadvantaged and historically underrepresented businesses while maintaining high standards of technical execution and mission alignment. Her procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services), reflecting expertise in soil and groundwater cleanup, contaminated site restoration, and regulatory compliance under CERCLA and RCRA frameworks. She also routinely procures services under NAICS 562112 (Hazardous Waste Collection), underscoring her technical command over the full lifecycle of environmental management—from containment and transport to treatment and disposal—ensuring Army installations meet stringent federal environmental standards.
