Colleen E. Carey

Colleen E. Carey serves as a Property Manager responsible for overseeing the acquisition and management of construction and facility-related services to support federal property operations. In this role, she plays a critical part in ensuring that agency infrastructure needs are met through compliant, efficient, and mission-driven procurement processes. Her acquisitions primarily involve construction, renovation, and maintenance services for commercial and institutional buildings, with a focus on specialty trade contracting disciplines. She works closely with project engineers, facility planners, and compliance officers to align contract awards with operational requirements and regulatory standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Colleen maintains consistent relationships with a diverse pool of specialty trade contractors, particularly those qualified in electrical, painting, flooring, and general construction services. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, performance history, and adherence to federal construction codes. She fosters long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-quality, code-compliant work under tight timelines, often coordinating multi-trade projects that require integrated subcontractor management. Colleen demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over half of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. HUBZone set-asides account for nearly a quarter of her portfolio, reflecting a deliberate emphasis on supporting economically disadvantaged geographic areas. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business participation, with minimal use of unrestricted solicitations, underscoring her dedication to expanding economic opportunity through federal procurement. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), followed by electrical contracting (238210) and other specialty trades such as painting (238320) and flooring (238330). This specialization indicates deep expertise in facility modernization, building systems integration, and multi-trade project coordination. She routinely procures services involving structural upgrades, utility installations, and interior finishes, requiring precise technical oversight and compliance with building codes and accessibility standards.
