Carrie Coffman

Carrie Coffman serves as a Procurement Analyst within the OCP-POD-Acq-Mgmt-Branch at the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Office of the Chief Financial Officer, where she supports the acquisition of mission-critical technical services to modernize digital infrastructure and operational systems. Her role involves managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from requirement validation and market research to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and the agency’s strategic priorities in cybersecurity, data analytics, and IT modernization. She primarily handles service-based acquisitions for commercial and industrial machinery maintenance, systems integration, and technical consulting to sustain core information systems supporting agricultural policy execution. Carrie maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including ALPHA OMEGA INTEGRATION LLC, SAMYAK SOLUTIONS, INC., and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in IT support, systems modernization, and facility-related technical services. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance, accountability, and mission alignment. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced approach to socioeconomic objectives, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, she actively prioritizes small business participation where market conditions support it, aligning with USDA’s broader socioeconomic goals. Carrie’s procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 811310—Commercial and Industrial Machinery and Equipment (except Automotive and Electronic) Repair and Maintenance—which encompasses specialized technical services for maintaining and upgrading physical and digital infrastructure supporting USDA’s operational systems. Her domain expertise lies in procuring maintenance, calibration, and integration services for mission-critical hardware and facility-based IT systems, ensuring continuity and reliability across the agency’s technical ecosystem.
