Lindsay D. Carr

Lindsay D. Carr serves as a Contract Specialist within the U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), responsible for executing complex procurement actions that support global military mobility operations. She manages the acquisition of critical logistics and transportation support services essential to expeditionary operations, including port and terminal operations, cargo handling, and multimodal freight coordination. Her work directly enables the Department of Defense’s strategic deployment and sustainment objectives by ensuring timely, reliable, and scalable transportation infrastructure capabilities across air, sea, land, and rail domains. Carr typically handles task and delivery order contracts under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles, with a focus on performance-based requirements and commercial item acquisitions under FAR Part 12. Carr maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced providers with proven capabilities in global air cargo operations, military charter services, and expeditionary logistics support. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, operational flexibility, and compliance with defense transportation standards, fostering long-term collaborations built on performance accountability and mission alignment. While the majority of her acquisitions—81.8%—are conducted without set-asides, Carr demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business participation, with 18.2% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages small business capabilities in niche logistics sectors, ensuring competitive opportunities for firms with specialized expertise in transportation support, even in highly technical domains requiring security and operational readiness. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 488999 (All Other Support Activities for Transportation), 488320 (Marine Cargo Handling), 488510 (Freight Transportation Arrangement), and 493110 (General Warehousing and Storage), with additional activity in 532411 (Transportation Equipment Leasing). Carr specializes in procuring integrated logistics solutions, including port throughput optimization, cargo handling systems, freight coordination, and equipment leasing services that sustain global military mobility operations.
