Kim Carr

Kim Carr supports the procurement operations of the DOL’s Cas Division 3 Procurement under the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management, ensuring the timely acquisition of critical medical, administrative, and facility support services that sustain the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs. In this capacity, Carr manages the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized health and operational services, aligning acquisitions with federal compliance standards and programmatic needs. Their work directly enables the delivery of efficient, compliant care to federal employees through contracts for physician services, vocational rehabilitation, and integrated administrative systems, maintaining the integrity of the Department’s worker compensation infrastructure. Carr maintains a broad network of vendors spanning clinical providers, management consultants, and technology service firms, with no single contractor dominating the portfolio. Relationships are characterized by competitive, performance-based engagements that prioritize service quality, regulatory adherence, and operational scalability. While no exclusive contractor partnerships are evident, the procurement approach emphasizes open competition and vendor diversity to ensure resilience and responsiveness across a geographically dispersed service network. Set-aside preferences reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 83.3% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, Carr consistently allocates 8.3% of opportunities each to Total Small Business Set-Asides and 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating a deliberate, balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs. This pattern signals a preference for broad market access while intentionally supporting small and disadvantaged businesses through targeted, competed pathways under FAR 19.5 and 8(a) regulations. The procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in healthcare and administrative services, with 621111 (Offices of Physicians) accounting for one-third of activity, followed by 624310 (Vocational Rehabilitation Services). Additional focus areas include computer facilities management, administrative consulting, and marketing research—reflecting expertise in integrated service delivery systems that support both clinical operations and program administration within federal workers’ compensation frameworks.
