Carol Fagnani, CPCM

Carol S. Fagnani serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services, with a focus on software development, systems design, and computer facilities management. Fagnani’s expertise lies in structuring complex procurements that balance technical performance, cost-effectiveness, and regulatory compliance, often working closely with program managers and technical evaluators to define clear, measurable outcomes. While no specific contractor relationships are currently available, Fagnani routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large prime contractors and small businesses, to fulfill IT service requirements. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations, though she actively leverages small business set-asides to foster market participation. She maintains professional, transparent relationships with industry partners, emphasizing fairness, clarity in solicitation language, and consistent communication throughout the acquisition process. Fagnani demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 33.3% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses, aligning with federal goals to increase contracting opportunities for small and disadvantaged firms. While no other set-aside categories are currently dominant in her portfolio, her reliance on small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to promote market diversity and enhance competition. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes within the information technology services sector, particularly Custom Computer Programming Services (541511), Computer Systems Design Services (541512), and Computer Facilities Management Services (541513), alongside Software Publishers (511210). She specializes in acquiring software development, systems integration, and managed IT infrastructure services, reflecting deep technical familiarity with modern enterprise IT environments and cloud-enabled solutions.
