Carol Andry

Carol Andry serves as a procurement specialist focused on education and support services acquisitions, playing a critical role in advancing the agency’s mission through strategic contracting solutions. She manages a portfolio of contracts primarily centered on technical and trade education programs, alongside ancillary support services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and efficient delivery of mission-critical resources. Her work bridges operational needs with procurement best practices, emphasizing timely, transparent, and compliant contract execution across a broad spectrum of non-defense federal activities. Her contractor relationships are predominantly with providers in the postsecondary education and general business support sectors, including firms specializing in curriculum development, workforce training, and administrative consulting. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with a diverse base of vendors capable of delivering scalable, high-quality educational and operational support services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, capable performers with proven track records in delivering institutional training and support solutions under performance-based requirements. Andry exhibits a strong alignment with small business participation, with over 90% of her acquisitions structured as open competitions, yet she actively leverages the Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides to foster socioeconomic equity. Her contracting approach demonstrates a deliberate, data-informed commitment to expanding opportunities for small and veteran-owned businesses, particularly in niche service categories aligned with workforce development. Her primary NAICS focus is on 611519 (Other Technical and Trade Schools), indicating deep expertise in procuring vocational, career, and technical training services. She also frequently engages contractors under 561990 (All Other Support Services) and 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), reflecting a specialization in institutional capacity building, operational efficiency, and workforce readiness programs. Her domain expertise lies in designing and managing contracts that deliver scalable, outcomes-driven education and administrative support solutions.
