Sharon Van Dyke

Sharon Van Dyke serves as a Procurement Analyst at DLA Land Warren, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to sustain ground force readiness through the acquisition of high-reliability mechanical, electrical, and electro-mechanical components for armored vehicles, tactical transport systems, and combat support platforms. She plays a critical role in executing complex procurement actions for mission-critical subsystems, including powertrain assemblies, transmission systems, and electronic control units, ensuring timely delivery of components that directly impact operational readiness. Her work spans the full acquisition lifecycle—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—aligning with DLA’s strategic focus on resilience, interoperability, and supply chain security for land warfare systems. Van Dyke maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial partners including ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, Oshkosh Defense, Renk America, SCI Technology, and Varec NV. These partnerships reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven capabilities in precision manufacturing, ruggedized electronics, and mission-specific engineering. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical compliance, performance-based requirements, and long-term supplier reliability, often engaging vendors with deep domain expertise in armored vehicle integration and military-grade component fabrication. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 41% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 6.5% designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, her active use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to broaden the supplier base and foster innovation from qualified small businesses within the defense industrial base. Van Dyke’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336310 (motor vehicle engine and powertrain components), 332439 (metal containers), and 335999 (miscellaneous electrical components), reflecting her technical specialization in mechanical drivetrains, ruggedized enclosures, and embedded electronic subsystems. Her work requires deep familiarity with military specifications, engineering drawings, and quality assurance protocols for components operating under extreme environmental conditions, positioning her as a key technical liaison between acquisition teams and defense manufacturers.
