Sherwin Riley

Sherwin Riley serves as a secondary contracting support professional within the 0410 AQ HQ Contract Office of the U.S. Army, contributing to the acquisition of mission-enabling services critical to installation readiness and force sustainment. While not the primary contracting officer, Riley plays a vital role in supporting the full lifecycle of procurements—from requirements validation and market research to contract administration and performance monitoring. Their work ensures alignment with the Army’s strategic priorities in hospitality, logistics, administrative support, and information technology services, enabling seamless operations for both garrisoned and deployed forces. Riley routinely engages with complex, multi-year service contracts that require precise compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations, particularly in areas requiring high operational continuity and security. Riley collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of vendors, including general management consultants, facilities support providers, and IT service firms, fostering partnerships that balance capability with socioeconomic compliance. While no single contractor dominates the portfolio, working relationships are built on consistent performance, responsiveness to mission needs, and adherence to federal procurement standards. The office maintains an open but disciplined vendor engagement process, encouraging competition while ensuring accountability across all contract phases. Riley’s procurement activities reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 41% of acquisitions structured as set-asides—including 24% Total Small Business Set-Asides and 17.7% 8(a) competed awards. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity while enhancing innovation and resilience in the supply base. The office actively leverages socioeconomic programs to meet statutory goals without compromising mission effectiveness. The primary procurement focus lies in Administrative Management Consulting (NAICS 541611), Hotel and Motel Services (721110), and Other Computer-Related Services (541519), reflecting a need for integrated support systems that include facility operations, IT modernization, and strategic planning. Riley’s expertise centers on acquiring mission-critical services that sustain personnel welfare and operational tempo across diverse environments.
