Carrie Evans

Carrie Evans serves as a Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. Her role is central to ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. She primarily handles complex service and specialized equipment contracts, with a focus on engineering support, facilities operations, and industrial instrumentation. Her work ensures timely delivery of technical capabilities essential to operational readiness, balancing regulatory rigor with strategic sourcing efficiency. Evans cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse base of vendors, including engineering firms, facilities support providers, and industrial equipment wholesalers. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages both large primes and small businesses, fostering competitive bidding environments that promote innovation and value. Her contracting approach emphasizes transparency, fair competition, and performance-based outcomes, encouraging vendors to align with government requirements through clear statement of work development and robust evaluation criteria. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Evans awards approximately 88.9% of her contracts as unrestricted, reflecting a preference for open competition. However, she actively leverages Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses. Her pattern of set-aside usage indicates a balanced approach—prioritizing competition while ensuring small business participation remains a strategic pillar of her acquisition strategy. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services) and 561210 (Facilities Support Services), where she acquires technical consulting, maintenance, and operational support. She also regularly procures specialized industrial equipment under NAICS 333923 and 334515, including overhead crane systems and precision electrical testing instruments, as well as industrial machinery through NAICS 423830. This technical breadth underscores her expertise in complex, high-reliability procurement domains requiring deep domain knowledge and regulatory precision.
