Sharon Sullins

Sharon Sullins serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Management Services Division, supporting the Department of Agriculture’s mission to secure and manage real estate infrastructure for field-level agricultural and conservation operations. While not a primary contracting officer, she plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for nonresidential property leasing and facility management. Her work ensures that USDA personnel have reliable, accessible physical infrastructure across rural and underserved regions to deliver farm assistance and disaster response services efficiently. She routinely handles lease acquisitions, space optimization contracts, and facility support services aligned with long-term operational needs. Sullins maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Greenwood Properties, L.L.P., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, firms with proven expertise in commercial real estate leasing, site development, and facility maintenance. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, full-service real estate partners capable of delivering turnkey solutions for federal occupancy. These partnerships are typically long-term and performance-driven, emphasizing compliance with federal property standards and seamless integration with USDA’s operational footprint. Sullins’ contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of procurements conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most qualified vendors based on capability and facility suitability rather than socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the agency’s priority for rapid, scalable real estate solutions in time-sensitive operational environments. Her procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep specialization in commercial real estate leasing for federal use. She procures turnkey leased facilities, including office space, field offices, and support buildings, with an emphasis on location accessibility, structural integrity, and compliance with federal building codes. Her expertise lies in negotiating lease terms that meet USDA’s operational requirements while ensuring cost-effective, sustainable property utilization across diverse geographic regions.
