Sherita Glanton

Sherita Glanton serves as a key procurement lead within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Acquisition Division (12FPAC) under the U.S. Department of Agriculture, where she manages technical and engineering service acquisitions critical to national conservation efforts. Her work directly supports field-level land management initiatives, including soil health programs, conservation easement restoration, and data-driven agricultural planning. Glanton specializes in procuring environmental consulting and geospatial data services that enable science-based decision-making for federal land conservation programs, ensuring compliance with USDA’s mission to sustain agricultural productivity and ecological resilience. She maintains consistent working relationships with a focused group of contractors including PROJECTELLA LLC, HOMESTEAD SERVICES, LLC, and JANIE B LLC, all of which provide specialized environmental engineering, land assessment, and conservation planning services. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in ecological restoration, agronomic data analysis, and remote sensing applications. Glanton’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical rigor, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in compliance and measurable conservation impact. Glanton’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on selecting the most technically qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic designation, prioritizing capability and past performance over set-aside preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her awards frequently go to firms with small business status due to their niche technical expertise. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services) and NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), indicating deep specialization in environmental assessment, conservation planning, and geospatial data solutions. She consistently acquires services involving soil survey analysis, GIS mapping, remote sensing, and conservation technology platforms that inform USDA’s conservation programs at the operational level.
