Carolyn Ann Sherwood

Carolyn serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in support of critical infrastructure and public safety services. She plays a central role in executing the agency’s contracting strategy, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning purchases with operational priorities. Her portfolio primarily encompasses logistics support, security operations, and environmental remediation services, requiring a nuanced understanding of performance-based contracting, statement of work development, and source selection procedures. Carolyn consistently engages with vendors to ensure deliverables meet stringent quality, safety, and timeliness standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Carolyn’s procurement patterns reflect a preference for established service providers with demonstrated capacity in transportation support, security operations, and hazardous material remediation. She fosters long-term vendor relationships grounded in performance metrics and contract compliance, often utilizing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles and task order contracts to streamline procurement cycles. Her approach emphasizes accountability, competitive bidding, and contract administration rigor to mitigate risk and ensure value. Carolyn’s acquisition portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing market access and leveraging broad-based industry capabilities rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her process remains transparent and equitable, ensuring all eligible vendors have equal opportunity to compete based on technical merit and past performance. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 488490 (Other Support Activities for Road Transportation), 561612 (Security Guards and Patrol Services), and 562910 (Remediation Services). She specializes in acquiring ground transportation logistics, armed and unarmed security personnel, and environmental cleanup services—including soil remediation, waste handling, and hazardous site management. Her domain expertise centers on operational continuity, regulatory compliance, and mission-critical service delivery in high-risk environments.
