Carrie E Yearian

Carrie E. Yearian serves as a Contract Specialist within U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), where she plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s global mobility mission through the acquisition of critical logistics and transportation services. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and DOD regulatory frameworks. Yearian specializes in complex, mission-critical contracts supporting expeditionary logistics, port and terminal operations, and rapid deployment capabilities across air, sea, and land domains, enabling theater access and sustainment for U.S. military forces worldwide. She maintains longstanding relationships with key contractors including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC, all of which provide specialized aviation, marine cargo handling, and expeditionary transport services. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, globally capable vendors with proven operational expertise in austere environments. Yearian’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and stringent compliance with international and military logistics standards. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 98.3% of awards issued under full and open competition, reflecting the specialized nature of USTransCom’s mission requirements. Only 1.7% of contracts are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a focus on capability over socioeconomic preference, though small business participation remains a recognized component of her acquisition strategy. Yearian’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 488320 (Marine Cargo Handling), which accounts for 91.7% of her activity, alongside NAICS 481211 (Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation) at 8.3%. She routinely acquires heavy-lift cargo services, port terminal operations, aircraft charter support, and expeditionary logistics solutions, demonstrating deep technical expertise in global mobility infrastructure and military transportation systems.
