Candice Charlton

Candice Charlton serves as a Procurement Analyst responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for critical infrastructure projects, with a primary focus on highway, street, and bridge construction under NAICS 237310. In this role, she supports the planning, solicitation, evaluation, and award of competitive contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and agency procurement policies. Her work is instrumental in translating infrastructure needs into legally sound, performance-based solicitations that promote transparency, competition, and value for public investment. She collaborates closely with project engineers, budget officers, and legal advisors to align contractual requirements with technical specifications and operational objectives. While specific contractor relationships are not currently identifiable in available data, her procurement patterns indicate a consistent reliance on open, full-and-fair competition, with no set-asides applied to her portfolio. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing market participation among qualified general contractors, specialty subcontractors, and engineering firms capable of delivering large-scale civil construction services. Her approach prioritizes technical capability, past performance, and cost realism over socioeconomic preferences, fostering a level playing field for firms with proven expertise in public works. Charlton’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, indicating a deliberate alignment with agency priorities that require broad market access and high-capacity execution. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs, instead focusing on ensuring that all eligible contractors—regardless of size or certification—are evaluated on merit and capacity to deliver complex infrastructure projects. Her deep specialization in NAICS 237310 underscores her technical fluency in civil construction procurement, including earthwork, pavement systems, structural concrete, drainage, and traffic control. She is adept at drafting performance specifications, evaluating bid proposals for compliance with engineering standards, and managing contract modifications to accommodate design changes or unforeseen site conditions. Her expertise ensures that public transportation and roadway infrastructure is procured efficiently, safely, and in accordance with federal and state regulatory frameworks.
