Iris M. Carey serves as a procurement professional within the Office of Internal Acquisition at the General Services Administration’s Office of Administrative Services, where she supports the modernization of federal administrative infrastructure through strategic acquisitions of technology and professional services. Her work directly enables digital transformation initiatives by securing mission-critical computing systems, custom software solutions, and enterprise-level consulting services.

Carey collaborates with a diverse range of vendors specializing in custom programming, systems integration, and data platform development. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in agile development, cloud-native applications, and legacy system modernization. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and vendor accountability, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors capable of delivering scalable, secure, and interoperable solutions. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical capability and value over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring access to the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors for complex, high-stakes IT initiatives. Carey’s primary focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), reflecting her deep involvement in bespoke software development, systems consulting, and IT infrastructure support. She also procures specialized services under NAICS 511130 for data processing and NAICS 334112 for computer storage device manufacturing, indicating a technical portfolio that spans both software and hardware components essential to modern administrative systems. Her expertise centers on delivering secure, scalable, and mission-aligned technology solutions for internal federal operations.
