DeCarlo Coleman

DeCarlo Coleman supports the Department of Labor’s Cas Division 5 Procurement within the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management, where he plays a critical role in advancing the agency’s mission to deliver high-quality labor and economic data through strategic acquisitions. He manages the procurement lifecycle for research services, data systems, and specialized technical consulting that underpin longitudinal surveys and national employment statistics programs. His acquisitions are primarily focused on securing analytical expertise and data infrastructure solutions that enable evidence-based policy development and public dissemination of labor market insights. Coleman collaborates with a diverse array of contractors specializing in social science research, statistical modeling, and data management systems. While no specific vendor relationships are currently dominant, his procurement pattern reflects consistent engagement with firms possessing deep expertise in survey design, data validation, and longitudinal analysis. He fosters collaborative, performance-based contracting relationships that emphasize methodological rigor, data integrity, and timely delivery of complex analytical outputs. His contracting activity shows a clear preference for open competition, with 100% of acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences. This reflects a mission-driven approach prioritizing the highest-quality expertise to meet the technical demands of federal labor data collection, rather than socioeconomic targeting. The primary NAICS classification under his purview is 541720—Research and Development in the Social Sciences and Humanities—reflecting his exclusive focus on procuring advanced analytical services. He regularly acquires services including survey instrumentation, statistical analysis, data cleaning and normalization, qualitative coding, and economic modeling, all tailored to support the Department’s authoritative labor statistics and policy research initiatives. His domain expertise lies at the intersection of public sector data governance and social science methodology.
