Brian Carper

Brian Carper serves as a key procurement lead within the IRS – New Carrollton, operating under the Department of the Treasury, where he manages acquisitions critical to modernizing the agency’s digital infrastructure. His responsibilities center on securing enterprise-grade information technology services that enhance tax administration, data processing, and cybersecurity operations. Carper oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for mission-critical systems, including cloud migration, software integration, and IT modernization initiatives. He plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement strategy with the IRS’s broader digital transformation goals, ensuring acquisitions support secure, scalable, and compliant technological environments for federal tax operations. Carper maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships with firms specializing in enterprise IT services, particularly those capable of delivering complex, integrated solutions for large-scale government systems. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he routinely engages with vendors possessing proven expertise in federal IT modernization, cybersecurity compliance, and data analytics platforms. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluations, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term relationships with contractors who demonstrate adaptability and compliance with federal IT standards. Carper’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued as non-set-aside contracts. This approach underscores a strategic focus on maximizing technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic classifications, though small business participation is not excluded—only not prioritized through targeted set-asides. His contracting decisions prioritize technical merit and mission alignment, consistent with the IRS’s need for high-assurance systems and scalable solutions. His primary focus lies within NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing custom software development, systems integration, IT consulting, and managed services for federal infrastructure. He procures services related to cybersecurity frameworks, legacy system modernization, data warehousing, and enterprise platform optimization, demonstrating deep technical expertise in the domains of federal IT modernization and secure digital transformation.
