Carol D. Bacon serves as a Contract Administrator responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation through contract award and administration. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and aligning procurement activities with agency mission objectives. Her portfolio primarily centers on professional services contracts, particularly in information technology and software development domains, where she ensures rigorous source selection, contract structure, and performance monitoring. Bacon’s work supports the efficient delivery of mission-critical systems and services through transparent, compliant, and timely contracting processes. While specific contractor names are not available, Bacon maintains a broad network of vendors engaged in technical services procurement, including both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors. Her approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in regulatory adherence and performance excellence. She routinely engages with industry through market research, pre-solicitation outreach, and post-award evaluations to ensure vendor readiness and alignment with technical requirements. Bacon demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 20% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her contracts remain open to all competitors, she actively promotes small business inclusion through targeted outreach and simplified acquisition procedures. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—prioritizing competition while ensuring socioeconomic goals are met without compromising acquisition efficiency or mission needs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), where she regularly acquires custom software development, systems integration, and IT consulting services. She also frequently procures services under NAICS 511210, which encompasses software publishing and licensing. This dual specialization underscores her technical expertise in digital infrastructure, enterprise software solutions, and IT modernization initiatives, positioning her as a key player in advancing agency capabilities through technology-driven contracting.
