Maricar (Carly) Sweet

Carly Sweet serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing commercial and institutional building construction acquisitions, ensuring alignment with federal contracting regulations and agency infrastructure goals. While her specific title and agency are not disclosed, her consistent focus on NAICS 236220 indicates deep expertise in the design and construction of non-residential facilities, including office buildings, educational institutions, and public service structures. She oversees the full lifecycle of construction contracts—from solicitation and source selection to contract administration—ensuring compliance with FAR provisions and performance-based outcomes. Her work directly supports mission-critical facility modernization and capital improvement initiatives. Carly maintains a broad contractor network, engaging with both large general contractors and small business firms specializing in commercial construction. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding and fair opportunity, fostering relationships with experienced builders capable of delivering complex, code-compliant structures under tight schedules. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently cultivates partnerships with firms possessing proven track records in public-sector construction, prioritizing quality, safety, and schedule adherence. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to increase economic opportunity for small construction firms without relying on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. Her approach aligns with broader federal goals to expand small business access to construction markets while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Carly’s primary technical domain is commercial and institutional building construction, encompassing new builds, renovations, and facility upgrades. She procures services ranging from site preparation and structural framing to MEP systems integration and finish work, requiring deep familiarity with building codes, construction methodologies, and project delivery models such as design-bid-build. Her expertise ensures that all acquisitions meet functional, safety, and sustainability benchmarks for public-use facilities.
