Carrie Blomer

Caroline Blomer serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA2543 460 Cons agency under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement strategies that sustain and modernize critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. Her responsibilities include managing full lifecycle contracting for facility construction, maintenance, and operational support systems, with a focus on commercial and institutional building projects, plumbing, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems, and electrical installations. She ensures acquisitions align with mission readiness requirements while adhering to federal acquisition regulations and fiscal accountability standards. Blomer cultivates partnerships with a diverse range of vendors, including specialty trade contractors, durable goods wholesalers, and service providers supporting facility operations. While specific contractor names are not disclosed, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering complex, multi-trade construction services and mission-critical maintenance solutions. She fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency, compliance with safety and environmental standards, and reliability in delivering on-schedule performance for high-stakes government installations. Her contracting approach prioritizes equitable access, with a balanced 50/50 split between open competitions and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses without reliance on other socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her portfolio consistently channels contracting activity toward small business entities capable of delivering specialized trade services, reinforcing the agency’s mission to promote broad-based economic participation. Blomer’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), with significant activity also in drycleaning and laundry services, wood office furniture manufacturing, and miscellaneous durable goods wholesale. This indicates expertise in procuring both hard infrastructure and facility support services, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of the interdependent systems required to maintain mission-ready Air Force installations. Her technical domain spans construction management, facility operations, and integrated service delivery for federal real property assets.
