Carson demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, directing 100% of his acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5.

His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 238290—Other Building Equipment Contractors—specializing in the installation, maintenance, and modernization of integrated facility systems. This includes specialized equipment such as fire suppression controls, environmental monitoring systems, and mission-critical utility infrastructure. Carson’s technical expertise lies in ensuring these systems meet stringent Coast Guard operational, environmental, and security standards, making him a pivotal figure in sustaining the physical backbone of the service’s shore infrastructure.
