Whitney R. Sherrill

Whitney R. Sherrill serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development through contract award and administration. In this role, she ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports mission-critical procurement activities by aligning contracting strategies with agency objectives. Her portfolio primarily consists of non-commercial services acquisitions, with a strong emphasis on information technology services and maintenance support contracts. She works closely with program managers and technical evaluators to define clear statements of work, evaluate proposals, and negotiate terms that balance risk, cost, and performance outcomes. Whitney collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including established service providers and small businesses, to secure high-quality technical solutions. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, her procurement patterns reflect a preference for competitive, full-and-open contracting under FAR Part 15 procedures. She maintains professional, transparent relationships with industry partners, fostering fair competition and consistent communication throughout the acquisition process. Her contracting approach is overwhelmingly focused on full-and-open competition, with 100% of her awards designated as “No Set-Aside.” This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing market participation and leveraging broad industry capabilities rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains compliant with all small business programs and encourages participation through open solicitations. Whitney’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), where she acquires custom software development, licensing, and digital content solutions. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 811219 (Other Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance), particularly for IT infrastructure and system support. Her domain expertise centers on enterprise software systems, data management tools, and technical maintenance services, making her a key resource for mission-focused technology modernization initiatives.
