Carmencita D. Jones

Carmencita D. Jones serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of professional consulting services to support federal operational and strategic objectives. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical needs through transparent, competitive processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses non-clinical, advisory services, with a strong emphasis on technical and management consulting. She oversees the full acquisition lifecycle—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with agency priorities and statutory requirements. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Ms. Jones engages with a broad spectrum of vendors offering specialized consulting expertise, including large firms and small businesses capable of delivering high-quality analytical, administrative, and market research services. Her procurement approach emphasizes fairness, competition, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and deliverable-driven contracts. Ms. Jones’s contracting patterns reflect a uniform preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing competition across the marketplace rather than reserving contracts for specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms. Her approach prioritizes capability and value over socioeconomic targeting, though she remains compliant with all applicable small business programs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services), accounting for 60% of her activity, followed by 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting) and 541910 (Marketing Research). She regularly acquires services related to policy analysis, operational efficiency studies, data-driven decision support, and public opinion research, demonstrating deep expertise in the professional services domain. Her work supports evidence-based governance and strategic planning across federal initiatives.
