Carolyn Wilson

Carolyn Wilson serves as a key procurement lead within the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, overseeing acquisitions that support the operational integrity and modernization of federal nutrition assistance programs including SNAP, WIC, and the National School Lunch Program. Her work centers on securing management consulting services and event coordination solutions to enhance program evaluation, policy analysis, and stakeholder engagement. She plays a critical role in aligning contracting activities with FNS’s mission of data-driven decision-making and program efficiency, routinely managing complex service-based procurements that require technical expertise in public sector administration and large-scale event logistics. Wilson’s contracting patterns reflect a strong emphasis on professional services, with no identified set-aside preferences—100% of her acquisitions are open to all eligible vendors. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented in the system, her portfolio consistently engages firms with demonstrated capacity in administrative management consulting and convention/trade show operations. These partnerships are typically established through competitive sealed bidding or request for proposal processes, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and compliance with federal acquisition regulations. Her procurement focus is evenly split between NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and NAICS 561920 (Convention and Trade Show Organizers), indicating a dual specialization in strategic program evaluation support and large-scale stakeholder engagement events. She procures services such as policy impact assessments, operational workflow redesigns, federal nutrition outreach conferences, and interagency coordination forums—requiring deep domain knowledge in public health programming and federal grant administration. Wilson’s contracting approach underscores a commitment to transparency, competition, and technical rigor, ensuring FNS leverages high-quality professional services to advance equitable access to nutrition assistance across the nation.
