Deborah L. Carey serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirement validation and market research through solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and supports her agency’s mission by delivering essential services through transparent, competitive procurement processes. Her portfolio primarily includes professional services and construction-related contracts, with a focus on achieving timely, cost-effective outcomes while maintaining strict adherence to federal procurement integrity standards. While specific contractor names are not available, Deborah consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses, professional service firms, and construction contractors. Her procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach—favoring open competition while actively integrating socioeconomic programs to broaden vendor participation. She maintains collaborative working relationships with industry stakeholders, fostering clear communication and fair evaluation practices to ensure equitable access to federal opportunities. Deborah demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 31% of her awards directed toward small business set-asides, including Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) competed contracts. Her set-aside preferences reflect a deliberate strategy to promote economic inclusion, with a notable emphasis on 8(a) firms despite the majority of her acquisitions remaining unrestricted. This balance underscores her ability to meet mission needs while advancing federal socioeconomic goals. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 541513 (Computer Facilities Management Services), and 541612 (Human Resources Consulting Services), indicating deep expertise in facility infrastructure, IT operations support, and workforce development services.
