Carla S. Diamond

Carla S. Diamond serves as a Contract Specialist within U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), where she plays a critical role in executing the agency’s global mobility mission through the acquisition of expeditionary logistics and transportation services. She manages the full lifecycle of complex procurement actions for air, sea, and land mobility solutions, ensuring timely and compliant delivery of critical support to military operations worldwide. Her portfolio centers on charter air transport, freight movement, and logistics coordination, with a focus on rapid deployment and theater sustainment capabilities. Diamond’s work directly enables USTransCom’s strategic objective of maintaining seamless, end-to-end global transport networks across all domains. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC—organizations recognized for their specialized capabilities in nonscheduled air charter, deep-sea freight, and freight arrangement services. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, globally capable vendors with proven operational reliability in high-tempo, expeditionary environments. Diamond engages these contractors through competitive and sole-source mechanisms as appropriate, prioritizing performance, compliance, and mission readiness over cost alone. Diamond’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven focus on securing the most capable and available service providers to meet urgent global mobility requirements, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic categories. Her approach aligns with USTransCom’s operational imperatives, where speed, scalability, and global reach take precedence over programmatic small business targets. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 481211 (Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation), followed by 483111 (Deep Sea Freight Transportation) and 488510 (Freight Transportation Arrangement). She specializes in procuring time-sensitive, mission-critical transportation services—including military passenger movement, heavy equipment shipping, and integrated logistics coordination—requiring deep domain expertise in defense mobility systems, port operations, and international regulatory compliance.
