Theresa Sharper

Theresa Sharper serves as a primary procurement contact within the Asc Supplier Oper Ae And Af Division of the Department of Defense. In this capacity, she supports the agency's mission to sustain and modernize critical aviation systems for U.S. military aircraft fleets. Her role involves managing acquisitions for high-reliability components essential to aircraft functionality, safety, and operational readiness, with a particular focus on avionics, electrical systems, and airframe subsystems.

The technical focus of this office is heavily concentrated in the aviation sector. Procurement activity is dominated by NAICS 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment manufacturing, followed by aircraft manufacturing. Additional specialized procurement areas include fluid power cylinder and actuator manufacturing, ball and roller bearing manufacturing, and the production of search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical systems and instruments.
