Mina A. Carter

Mina A. Carter serves as a Procurement Technician responsible for supporting the end-to-end acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical services across diverse federal domains. In this role, she facilitates the preparation, solicitation, and award of contracts in alignment with FAR guidelines, ensuring compliance, transparency, and efficiency in procurement operations. Her work directly enables the agency’s operational readiness by securing specialized services ranging from technical programming to infrastructure support. Carter typically handles low- to moderate-dollar-value acquisitions requiring precise technical specifications and timely execution, often coordinating with program managers, legal advisors, and contracting officers to align requirements with available resources. While specific contractor names are not available, Carter maintains consistent engagement with a broad base of vendors, particularly small businesses meeting socioeconomic qualifications. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for collaborative, responsive vendor partnerships that demonstrate technical competence, past performance, and adherence to federal compliance standards. She routinely works with firms capable of delivering agile, scalable solutions in high-demand service categories, fostering relationships built on reliability and regulatory adherence. Carter demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 60% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate focus on expanding opportunities for small businesses. Her approach prioritizes inclusive contracting practices that align with federal goals to enhance small business participation, though no specific set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are dominant in her portfolio. This pattern underscores a broad-based support for small business eligibility rather than targeted socioeconomic categories. Her primary procurement focus centers on five key NAICS categories: Custom Computer Programming Services (541511), Translation and Interpretation Services (541930), Emergency and Other Relief Services (624230), Water and Sewer Line Construction (237110), and Support Activities for Forestry (115310). These reflect a technical and operational specialization in IT solutions, language services, disaster response, civil infrastructure, and environmental support—demonstrating her adaptability across both technical and public service domains.
