Holly T Carr

Holly T. Carr serves as a Contracting Officer within the GSA/FAS IT-C Office of Acquisition Operations, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical information technology and telecommunications procurements across the federal government. She manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions under GSA’s interagency contracting vehicles, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations while advancing the agency’s strategic goal of modernizing federal IT infrastructure. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional IT services, cloud-enabled solutions, and digital transformation support, enabling agencies to rapidly access scalable, secure, and compliant technology capabilities through standardized contracting mechanisms. Carr collaborates with a diverse ecosystem of vendors, including large systems integrators, managed service providers, and specialized IT consultants, all aligned with GSA’s approved contract holders under IT Schedule 70 and other FAS vehicles. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, high-performing contractors with proven track records in delivering complex IT services, while maintaining flexibility to onboard innovative firms capable of meeting evolving federal cybersecurity and cloud requirements. She fosters transparent, performance-driven relationships grounded in FAR Part 15 negotiated acquisitions and performance-based service contracts. Her contracting approach prioritizes broad market access, with 73.3% of her actions conducted as unrestricted procurements and 26.7% set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5. While she does not routinely favor specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small firms in the federal IT services market. Carr’s primary focus lies in NAICS 519190, encompassing other information services such as data analytics, digital content management, and IT consulting. She also regularly procures services under NAICS 541519 and 518210, including cloud infrastructure, web hosting, and computer facilities management. Her technical expertise centers on modern IT ecosystems, cybersecurity-enabled platforms, and mission-critical digital services that support agency-wide digital transformation initiatives.
