Carolina Young

Carolina Young serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while supporting mission-critical service delivery across her organization. Her portfolio primarily encompasses information technology services, digital media solutions, and facility-related support contracts, with a focus on ensuring timely, transparent, and legally sound procurement outcomes. She works closely with program managers and legal counsel to align contracting strategies with operational needs and regulatory frameworks. Carolina collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including software publishers, information service providers, and parking operations contractors. While no single contractor dominates her award history, she consistently engages both large-capability firms and small businesses to meet technical and operational demands. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 15, with an emphasis on performance-based outcomes and clear statement of work definitions. She maintains professional, arms-length relationships grounded in fairness, accountability, and regulatory integrity. Carolina’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with agency priorities that prioritize technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach remains fully compliant with all small business participation goals and encourages broad market access through transparent solicitation practices. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511130 (Newspaper Publishers), 511210 (Software Publishers), and 519290 (Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services), indicating a strong emphasis on digital content, software licensing, and online information platforms. She also regularly procures services under 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages), suggesting a hybrid portfolio that blends IT modernization with facility management support. Her expertise spans technical requirements development for software systems and service-based contracts involving data delivery, digital infrastructure, and operational maintenance.
