She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with naval fleet sustainment, including telecommunications, security, and training services essential to shipboard operations and crew welfare. Her role centers on ensuring timely, compliant, and efficient acquisition outcomes that directly enable naval platform availability and personnel support, operating within the Department of the Navy’s broader logistics and supply chain framework. McCarty maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Stronghold SOF Solutions LLC, Gemini Tech Services LLC, Emerald Isle Federal Services, LLC, First Division Consulting Inc., and Curtiss-Wright Electro-Mechanical Corp. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in technical support, systems maintenance, and operational consulting. Her contracting patterns suggest a reliance on experienced contractors capable of delivering complex, mission-aligned services under tight operational timelines, often requiring specialized naval domain expertise and security clearances. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 62.5% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, while maintaining a strong commitment to small business participation. Service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSB) account for 25% of awards, and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 represent 12.5%, indicating a balanced approach that leverages socioeconomic programs without compromising mission requirements. McCarty’s primary NAICS focus areas include wired telecommunications carriers (517111), security and patrol services (561612), and professional training services (611430 and 611519), reflecting a technical emphasis on communications infrastructure, base security, and workforce development. Her acquisitions support the Navy’s need for reliable network systems, personnel safety, and continuous skill enhancement across shore and deployed units.
