She manages the acquisition lifecycle for high-priority contracts that enhance housing policy analysis, administrative efficiency, and community engagement platforms. Her work centers on securing expert services that modernize HUD’s data-driven decision-making capabilities, ensuring alignment with national housing equity goals. Carter typically handles complex, performance-based acquisitions requiring technical rigor and cross-functional collaboration, often involving long-term service delivery models. Her primary contractor relationships are anchored with Liberty Communications, Inc., a trusted partner delivering integrated administrative management and computing infrastructure solutions. Carter cultivates stable, outcome-oriented vendor partnerships focused on scalability, cybersecurity compliance, and seamless system interoperability. These relationships are characterized by repeat engagements and performance-based task order awards, reflecting a preference for proven capability and operational reliability over transactional procurement. Carter’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside preferences. This approach underscores a commitment to selecting the most qualified providers based on technical merit and value, rather than socioeconomic classifications. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with federal acquisition regulations and promotes fair and open competition. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services) and NAICS 518210 (Computing Infrastructure Providers, Data Processing, Web Hosting, and Related Services).
