Carter Robinson

Carter Robinson serves as a key procurement lead within the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s Management Services Division, overseeing real estate infrastructure acquisitions critical to supporting USDA’s field-level agricultural and conservation operations. Responsible for managing leasehold and facility-related contracts, Robinson ensures the agency maintains a scalable, geographically distributed physical footprint across rural and underserved regions. His work directly enables the delivery of farm assistance, disaster response, and conservation programs by securing accessible, mission-aligned properties—primarily through long-term nonresidential leasing arrangements. His acquisitions are strategically aligned with operational needs for office space, field service centers, and storage facilities that support USDA personnel in remote areas. Robinson maintains consistent working relationships with a small cohort of specialized real estate partners, including Greenwood Properties, L.L.P., and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, who provide property acquisition, site development, and facility management services. These contractors are selected for their expertise in rural property logistics and compliance with federal real estate standards. His procurement pattern reflects a preference for established vendors with proven experience in managing complex land use agreements and infrastructure upgrades tailored to federal agricultural missions, fostering long-term, performance-based partnerships. Robinson’s contracting activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and geographic suitability over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the division’s need for rapid, scalable property solutions in areas where certified small businesses may be limited. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, all procurements remain compliant with FAR requirements and competitive fairness standards. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 531120—Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings (except Miniwarehouses)—indicating deep specialization in commercial real estate leasing for federal use. He procures turnkey facility leases, including build-to-suit arrangements and long-term rental agreements for office, storage, and operational spaces, demonstrating technical expertise in property law, federal real estate policy, and facility lifecycle management within agricultural service delivery contexts.
