Sherry Solodkova

Sherry Solodkova serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement analysis and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services, with a strong emphasis on software development, systems design, and IT infrastructure support. She works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to align contracting strategies with agency mission objectives, ensuring that procurements are both compliant and responsive to evolving operational needs. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with a broad spectrum of vendors, including large prime contractors and small business subcontractors. She fosters collaborative relationships grounded in competitive fairness and performance accountability, often leveraging multiple award schedules and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to streamline acquisition timelines and enhance vendor flexibility. Sherry demonstrates a clear preference for open competition, with 85.1% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. Nevertheless, she actively supports small business participation, with 12.8% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 2.1% awarded through 8(a) competed contracts. Her approach reflects a balanced commitment to maximizing competition while fulfilling socioeconomic goals. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), indicating deep expertise in IT consulting, custom software development, and systems integration.
