Aimee D Carlton

Aimee D. Carlton serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement development and market research to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, including the FAR and agency-specific policies, while aligning acquisitions with mission-critical objectives. Her portfolio primarily consists of complex service-based contracts requiring technical oversight and strategic sourcing, with a strong emphasis on information technology and digital services. Carlton’s work supports the agency’s broader procurement mission by promoting efficiency, transparency, and accountability in the acquisition process. While specific contractor names are not available, Carlton maintains relationships with a diverse range of vendors capable of delivering high-quality IT and software services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations, with minimal reliance on sole-source or non-competitive mechanisms. She engages with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering a collaborative environment that prioritizes performance, innovation, and contractual integrity. Carlton’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market participation and ensure the best value through robust competition, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach still supports small business involvement through subcontracting opportunities and prime contractor compliance with small business subcontracting plans. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), indicating deep expertise in custom software development, systems integration, and emerging technology solutions. She routinely procures cloud-based platforms, enterprise software licenses, cybersecurity tools, and IT consulting services, demonstrating specialized knowledge in the digital infrastructure and software lifecycle domains.
