Sherri L. Comer

Sherri L. Comer serves as a Contracting Officer within the W6QK Acc-apg unit under the Department of the Army (W91CRB), where she plays a pivotal role in advancing the agency’s mission to develop and field next-generation intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. She manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions for aeronautical instrumentation, radio frequency platforms, and battlefield data analytics, ensuring alignment with modernization priorities in tactical communications and sensor integration. Her portfolio emphasizes technical procurement in defense-critical domains, requiring deep familiarity with federal acquisition regulations and mission-driven contracting strategies. Comer cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse base of vendors, including specialized engineering firms and manufacturing partners capable of delivering high-precision military-grade systems. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms possessing niche expertise in RF systems, data fusion, and ruggedized instrumentation. Her contracting approach prioritizes technical capability, compliance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who can meet stringent DoD standards for reliability and interoperability. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Comer exhibits a balanced yet deliberate preference for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, accounting for half of her acquisition activity, while maintaining an equal portion of open competitions. This pattern reflects a commitment to both broad market access and targeted support for veteran-owned enterprises, aligning with Department of the Army mandates to enhance small business participation without compromising mission readiness. Her procurement focus is evenly split between NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and 333517 (Machine Tool Manufacturing), underscoring her dual emphasis on operational support services and precision manufacturing. She regularly sources advanced machining components, test equipment, and systems integration consulting to sustain the development of next-generation battlefield sensing and communications platforms.
