Carin P. Boyd

Carin P. Boyd serves as a key procurement professional within the Environmental Management Contracting Business Center under the Department of Energy, overseeing acquisitions critical to the safe remediation of legacy nuclear and hazardous waste sites. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission of environmental restoration by managing contracts for technical services that ensure regulatory compliance, waste containment, and long-term stewardship. She typically handles complex, science-driven procurements involving environmental remediation, hazardous waste treatment, and chemical management, often requiring specialized engineering, regulatory expertise, and compliance with DOE Order 450.1 and EPA standards. Boyd collaborates with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in environmental cleanup technologies, radioactive waste processing, and chemical decontamination services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven capabilities in nuclear decommissioning, soil and groundwater remediation, and high-hazard waste handling. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and vendor accountability, fostering partnerships with both large environmental services firms and niche technical specialists equipped for DOE’s unique operational environments. Boyd’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, though she remains compliant with all federal small business regulations. Her approach prioritizes mission-critical outcomes, ensuring that contract awards are driven by technical competence, past performance, and safety record rather than socioeconomic targeting. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 562910 (Remediation Services) and NAICS 562211 (Hazardous Waste Treatment and Disposal), with additional emphasis on NAICS 325180 (Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing). She procures services ranging from soil excavation and vitrification to chemical neutralization and radionuclide immobilization, demonstrating deep expertise in nuclear waste lifecycle management and environmental compliance systems. Her work ensures that cleanup efforts are both scientifically sound and operationally sustainable.
