Sharon Watson

Sharon Watson serves as a key procurement lead within the W074 Endist Savannah office of the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of civil engineering and facility construction services critical to sustaining Army infrastructure. Her role centers on managing full lifecycle contracting for commercial and institutional building projects, ensuring alignment with Army installation modernization goals and environmental compliance mandates. She handles competitive solicitations under FAR Part 36, with a focus on design-build and construction management-at-risk delivery methods to enhance project efficiency and mission readiness. Watson maintains longstanding relationships with a core group of joint venture contractors, including BLAIR REMY MERRICK MP JOINT VENTURE, LLC, GURRI MATUTE CROMWELL JV LLC, and GMHILL BAKER JV, LLC, all of which bring specialized expertise in large-scale military facility construction. She also regularly engages SHERLOCK, SMITH & ADAMS INC. and ZAPATA GROUP, INC. for their niche capabilities in renovation, utility upgrades, and historic preservation. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, vertically integrated teams capable of executing complex, multi-disciplinary projects under stringent military standards. Her procurement strategy is heavily weighted toward small business participation, with 66.7% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and an additional 33.3% competed exclusively under the 8(a) program. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to fostering economic opportunity among disadvantaged business enterprises while ensuring technical competency in mission-critical construction. Watson’s portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—encompassing new builds, renovations, and infrastructure remediation for barracks, administrative facilities, and support structures. Her technical expertise lies in managing projects requiring compliance with UFC standards, sustainable building practices, and Army environmental regulations, ensuring all acquisitions support long-term operational readiness and resilience.
