I have keyed my IB Username and Password in Global Settings==>Data/Trade Service Settings for the Service: Interactive Brokers [trading].

My Username is associated with two account types at Interactive Brokers--a brokerage account fit for trading, and an IRA account not fit for trading.

Is there a means within Sierra Charts to force the use of a specific IB account number for trade orders?

If there are multiple accounts associated with your login, then refer to the following for how to select the account you will use for trading:
Basic Trading and the Trade Window: Main/C >> Trade Account (Selecting Trade Account for Chart / Trade DOM)

Once selected, that account will stay the active one unless a change is made.
