Carol A Hollar

Carol A. Hollar serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions within the aerospace and defense sector. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations while executing complex procurements for specialized aircraft components and auxiliary equipment. Her work directly supports mission-critical aviation systems, requiring deep technical understanding of manufacturing standards and supply chain logistics. Hollar routinely handles competitive and non-competitive contracts, including solicitation development, source selection, contract negotiation, and post-award administration, ensuring timely delivery of high-integrity aerospace parts. Hollar maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of contractors specializing in the design, testing, and production of aircraft subsystems. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with small and mid-sized manufacturers capable of meeting stringent military and FAA certification requirements. Her contracting approach emphasizes transparency, fairness, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency and reliable delivery capabilities. A strong advocate for small business participation, Hollar prioritizes socioeconomic contracting opportunities, with over half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She also actively utilizes HUBZone set-asides, reflecting a deliberate commitment to directing contracts toward economically disadvantaged geographic areas. Her procurement patterns consistently align with federal goals to expand economic opportunity, ensuring robust small business involvement across the acquisition spectrum. Her technical focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—encompassing the procurement of flight control components, avionics housings, landing gear subsystems, and other non-engine aircraft systems. This specialization demands expertise in aerospace manufacturing processes, materials compliance, and quality assurance protocols, positioning Hollar as a trusted expert in the niche domain of specialized aviation hardware acquisition.
