Katie McCarthy

Katie McCarthy supports the Arc Division Procurement Services – Afrh within the Bureau of the Fiscal Service, managing acquisition activities critical to sustaining federal facility operations and health-related services. She oversees the procurement of specialized maintenance, appliance repair, dental and medical supplies, and facility support services essential to mission continuity. Her work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning with the agency’s focus on operational resilience and infrastructure reliability. McCarthy typically handles task orders and blanket purchase agreements under simplified acquisition procedures, often coordinating with technical stakeholders to define performance requirements and ensure service delivery meets stringent health and safety standards. Her primary contractor relationship is with MEDLINE INDUSTRIES, LP, a leading supplier of medical and surgical products, reflecting a consistent reliance on established vendors for high-volume, mission-critical healthcare consumables. She engages with a mix of large-capacity suppliers and small businesses, fostering vendor partnerships that balance reliability with competitive responsiveness. Her contracting patterns suggest a preference for proven performers in medical supply logistics, while maintaining flexibility to incorporate qualified alternatives to ensure supply chain robustness. McCarthy’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with 42.9% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms. This pattern aligns with broader Bureau goals to enhance socioeconomic equity in federal contracting without compromising operational needs. Her technical focus centers on NAICS 339114 (Dental Equipment and Supplies Manufacturing), 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), and 812930 (Parking Lots and Garages), indicating a diverse operational footprint spanning healthcare logistics, environmental services, and facility infrastructure. She routinely procures dental instruments, medical disposables, waste management services, and facility maintenance solutions, demonstrating domain expertise in integrated facility support systems and regulated healthcare supply chains.
