Carolyn C. Taylor

Carolyn Taylor serves as the IDIQ-HRSA Logistical Support contracting lead, responsible for managing indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts that enable critical logistical and operational support for Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) programs. Her role centers on acquiring integrated services that sustain public health infrastructure, including administrative, technical, and event-based logistics. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring HRSA’s mission-critical initiatives—ranging from workforce development to disease prevention—are supported through agile, scalable contracting mechanisms that prioritize responsiveness and efficiency across diverse geographic regions. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Taylor maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships spanning consulting firms, technical service providers, and specialized logistics vendors. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging task order competitions under IDIQ vehicles to foster competition and ensure quality delivery. She routinely engages with both large-capacity service providers and small business subcontractors to meet dynamic program needs, maintaining a balanced and compliant acquisition strategy aligned with federal sourcing regulations. Taylor’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 84.2% of awards issued without set-aside designation. However, she actively supports socioeconomic goals, allocating 10.5% of awards to HUBZone-certified firms and 5.3% to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but intentional commitment to small business inclusion without compromising operational flexibility. Her primary procurement focus lies in administrative and general management consulting (NAICS 541611), complemented by technical consulting (541690), computer systems design (541512), and in-vitro diagnostic manufacturing (325413). She routinely acquires services related to public health program management, data-driven decision support, and event logistics for training and outreach initiatives, reflecting deep expertise in health systems support and operational readiness.
