Carrie Comstock

Carrie J. Comstock serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of passenger car leasing services under federal procurement regulations. In this role, she ensures compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), facilitates competitive solicitation processes, and oversees contract performance to meet agency transportation and mobility requirements. Her work supports the efficient and cost-effective procurement of vehicle leasing solutions, ensuring alignment with federal fleet management standards and sustainability goals. Comstock handles full lifecycle acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and closeout—primarily utilizing indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and requirements-type contracts. Comstock maintains a standardized contracting approach with a broad base of qualified vendors in the automotive leasing and fleet management sector. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she engages with national and regional lessors experienced in federal compliance, maintenance support, and vehicle tracking systems. Her working relationships are characterized by transparency, consistent communication, and adherence to competitive procedures under FAR Part 13 and Part 17. She routinely evaluates vendor performance metrics, service-level agreements, and fleet utilization data to ensure value and accountability. Comstock’s procurement pattern reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a deliberate focus on maximizing competition among all eligible vendors without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB designations. While she does not prioritize small business set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with small business participation goals and encourages all eligible firms to compete on an equal footing. Her primary procurement focus is NAICS 532112—Passenger Car Leasing—where she specializes in acquiring short- and long-term vehicle leases, including maintenance packages, fuel management, and telematics services. She has deep expertise in evaluating fleet service offerings, insurance coverage, and compliance with federal vehicle standards, making her a key resource for agencies requiring scalable, compliant passenger vehicle solutions.
