Sharon S. LeRoux

Sharon S. LeRoux serves as a Contracting Officer within the New Orleans Contract Operations Management Branch of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where she plays a critical role in securing essential logistical and operational services to support federal disaster response and recovery missions. Her portfolio centers on time-sensitive acquisitions for temporary housing, site readiness, and emergency infrastructure, with a strong emphasis on securing recreational vehicle parks and campgrounds to house displaced populations following disaster declarations. She manages full lifecycle procurements under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, utilizing competitive and non-competitive methods as appropriate to meet urgent operational needs while ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations. LeRoux maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in emergency support services, including providers of temporary housing solutions, facility management contractors, and equipment lessors. She regularly engages with both large-capacity service providers and small, agile firms capable of rapid mobilization, fostering partnerships that prioritize responsiveness, scalability, and geographic accessibility across the Gulf Coast region. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, surge capacity, and compliance with federal safety and operational standards for disaster-affected environments. A staunch advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, LeRoux consistently applies set-asides in accordance with FAR 19.5 and 26.2, allocating 50% of her acquisitions to small businesses and 25% to local area set-asides, with additional targeted opportunities for 8(a) certified firms. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to maximize participation from small, disadvantaged, and community-based vendors, ensuring that disaster recovery efforts also stimulate regional economic resilience. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423450 (medical and hospital equipment wholesalers), 561720 (janitorial services), and 561790 (other building services), reflecting the need for sanitation, medical supply logistics, and facility support during extended emergency operations. She brings deep expertise in procuring temporary infrastructure, portable medical services, and commercial equipment leasing to sustain mission-critical operations in austere environments.
