William Sharkey

William Sharkey serves as a Contract Analyst at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, supporting the Department of Homeland Security’s mission to equip federal law enforcement personnel with mission-critical infrastructure and technical systems. In this role, he provides analytical and administrative support for the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirements validation and market research to contract award documentation and performance monitoring. His work centers on the acquisition of fabricated metal products essential to modernizing training facilities, constructing tactical ranges, and installing secure operational infrastructure, ensuring alignment with federal procurement regulations and agency-specific standards. Sharkey maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized vendors, including Diversified Fabricators & Erectors, Inc., Reynolds-Warren Equipment Company, Inc., and Contender Boats Inc., among others. These contractors are primarily engaged for the design, fabrication, and installation of custom metal structures, training range components, and maritime enforcement equipment. His procurement approach emphasizes technical precision, durability, and compliance with federal safety and operational benchmarks, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate reliable delivery, quality control, and adherence to performance metrics. Sharkey’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside procurement strategy, with no utilization of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. His focus remains on technical capability and mission suitability rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s prioritization of performance-critical outcomes over socioeconomic targeting. His primary procurement activity is concentrated in NAICS 332999—All Other Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing—indicating deep expertise in sourcing custom-engineered metal components for law enforcement training environments. This includes railings, barriers, shooting range backstops, vehicle barriers, and specialized structural assemblies, requiring precise material specifications and compliance with federal safety and ballistic standards. Sharkey’s domain knowledge centers on the intersection of fabrication engineering and operational law enforcement needs.
