Sherwin Turner

Sherwin C. Turner serves as a Contracting Officer with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), where he plays a critical role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to support national disaster response and recovery operations. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts—from solicitation and evaluation to award and closeout—he ensures timely procurement of essential services and equipment that enable rapid deployment of emergency resources. His portfolio primarily encompasses facilities support, logistics, and infrastructure restoration contracts aligned with FEMA’s mandate to sustain operational continuity during crises. Turner’s work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities, including scalable sheltering, medical supply chain resilience, and temporary housing solutions. Turner maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including FED SERVE LLC, EDGE TECHNOLOGY DISTRIBUTORS, INC., WS ACQUISITION LLC, VIDOVATION CORPORATION, and SAMSTAR LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on vendors capable of delivering rapid-response logistics, temporary infrastructure, and technical support services under high-pressure conditions. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, scalability, and compliance with federal emergency procurement protocols, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. Turner’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market responsiveness and ensure access to the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors during time-sensitive emergency operations. While he does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach prioritizes mission readiness over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with FEMA’s operational imperatives during disaster events. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing site preparation, temporary facility management, and logistics coordination. He also regularly procures services under NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Infrastructure), 541330 (Engineering Services), 532120 (Truck and RV Leasing), and 493190 (Other Warehousing and Storage). This technical specialization demonstrates deep expertise in emergency logistics, mobile infrastructure, and field support systems critical to disaster operations.
