Mitch Carver

Mitch Carver serves in a secondary procurement role, supporting the agency's acquisition mission through the management of specialized technical contracts. The agency demonstrates a diverse procurement strategy, with a strong preference for full-and-open competitions, as no set-aside is utilized in the majority of its awards. However, the office maintains a commitment to small business participation, allocating a portion of its contracting activity to 8(a) sole source awards and Total Small Business Set-Asides. The agency's procurement activity is heavily concentrated in high-tech manufacturing and specialized equipment. Primary focus areas include explosives manufacturing and the production of instruments for measuring and testing electricity and electrical signals. Additionally, the office procures commercial and industrial refrigeration and heating equipment, as well as various measuring and controlling devices and electronic parts through specialized merchant wholesalers.
