Carlos Torres-Roman

Carlos I. Torres Roman serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex service acquisitions across professional and administrative support domains. He plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while aligning procurements with operational needs. His portfolio primarily encompasses consulting services, human resources support, and specialized technical services, often requiring competitive bidding under FAR Part 15. Torres Roman ensures acquisitions are structured to promote transparency, competition, and mission effectiveness, frequently leveraging performance-based contracting and statement of work frameworks to define clear deliverables and outcomes. His contractor relationships span a diverse ecosystem of service providers, including management consulting firms, HR specialists, and niche professional service vendors. He engages with both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors, fostering collaborative partnerships that emphasize quality, responsiveness, and regulatory adherence. While no single vendor dominates his award profile, his procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach—favoring open competition while intentionally integrating small business capabilities into the supply chain. Torres Roman demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 70% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides, yet he consistently allocates 30% of his portfolio to small business opportunities—20% to 8(a) competed contracts and 10% to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This pattern reflects a strategic balance between maximizing competition and fulfilling statutory small business goals, particularly through 8(a) program participation. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (administrative management consulting), 541612 (human resources consulting), and 541990 (other professional services), indicating deep expertise in organizational efficiency, workforce development, and specialized technical support. He also procures periodical publishing and personal services, reflecting a broad yet targeted approach to sustaining mission-critical administrative functions through high-quality, performance-driven contracts.
