Suzanne T Sharp

Suzanne T. Sharp serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development and market research through contract award and 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 service-based and light manufacturing contracts, with a focus on securing mission-critical support functions across engineering, security, and facility operations. Sharp works closely with program offices to align contracting strategies with agency objectives, ensuring timely delivery of goods and services while maintaining rigorous oversight and accountability. While specific contractor names are not available, Sharp maintains a diverse vendor ecosystem characterized by consistent engagement with both large-capability firms and small business concerns. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach, fostering competitive bidding while actively cultivating relationships with qualified small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical and operational support. She prioritizes fair and open competition, yet demonstrates a clear preference for socioeconomic programs that expand opportunities for underserved vendors. Sharp exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with over one-third of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 8.3% awarded through 8(a) competed contracts. Her set-aside strategy aligns with federal goals to promote equitable access to government contracting, reducing reliance on unrestricted procurements, which account for just under 60% of her portfolio. This pattern underscores her dedication to socioeconomic contracting objectives and fostering a resilient, diverse supplier base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing), 541330 (Engineering Services), and 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), reflecting expertise in technical support, infrastructure-related services, and protective operations. She also regularly procures commercial and institutional construction services and hospitality support, demonstrating adaptability across diverse technical domains and operational environments.
