Sherry Baldwin

Sherry Baldwin serves as a key procurement professional within the Virginia Contracting Activity (HHM402), supporting the Defense Intelligence Agency’s mission to deliver advanced technical capabilities for classified intelligence operations. She manages the acquisition of mission-critical services that enable real-time data exploitation, systems analysis, and operational support for national security functions. Her portfolio centers on complex, high-integrity contracts involving custom software development, engineering systems design, and business support services essential to sustaining intelligence infrastructure. Baldwin operates within a highly regulated environment requiring strict compliance with DoD acquisition regulations and security protocols, ensuring that all procurements align with the agency’s strategic priorities in physical sciences, cybersecurity, and intelligence processing technologies. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Baldwin maintains a broad network of qualified vendors capable of delivering secure, scalable technical solutions under stringent classification requirements. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for experienced firms with proven expertise in defense intelligence environments, including those with TS/SCI clearance capabilities and established track records in rapid prototyping and systems integration. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability, technical innovation, and adherence to federal cybersecurity standards such as NIST SP 800-53 and CMMC. Baldwin’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of contracts awarded under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven emphasis on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications, prioritizing the highest-performing vendors regardless of business size or certification status. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, qualified small firms may still compete successfully based on technical merit and compliance with security requirements. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 561499 (All Other Business Support Services) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing intelligence analysis support, data fusion platforms, automated systems engineering, and mission-specific software development. She consistently procures services that enhance the agency’s capacity for signals intelligence, geospatial analysis, and real-time operational decision-making.
