In this role, she ensures the acquisition of insurance services that support federal health benefit programs, aligning contracts with statutory requirements and operational needs. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts through competitive and non-competitive mechanisms, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations.

Her working relationships likely involve established carriers with demonstrated capacity to deliver large-scale, federally compliant health benefit solutions, including those with prior experience in federal programs such as FEHBP or Medicare Advantage. Carolee’s contracting pattern reflects a strong preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her awards classified as unrestricted. This suggests a focus on competitive open market procurements rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing broad competition and value-driven outcomes over targeted small business preferences. Her approach emphasizes efficiency and scalability over socioeconomic targeting, consistent with the nature of insurance carrier services typically procured through full and open competition. Her primary NAICS focus is 524114—Direct Health and Medical Insurance Carriers—indicating deep specialization in procuring managed care, health maintenance organization (HMO), and preferred provider organization (PPO) services. She handles complex insurance contracts involving provider networks, utilization management, and regulatory compliance, demonstrating technical expertise in health plan design, risk pooling, and federal health benefit administration.
