Myria Carpenter

Myria Carpenter serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements definition through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts in telecommunications, creative services, and professional development, with a strong emphasis on strategic sourcing and market research to identify capable vendors. She routinely handles complex, non-commercial acquisitions requiring detailed statement of work development and performance-based contracting approaches. While specific contractor names are not available, Myria maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships across diverse market segments, including both large primes and small businesses. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open solicitations, with a consistent emphasis on fair and transparent procurement practices. She engages with contractors through multiple solicitation vehicles, including indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts and multiple-award task order contracts, fostering long-term relationships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory compliance. Myria demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with nearly 30% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting approach prioritizes socioeconomic goals, consistently leveraging small business set-asides over other categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a preference for broad-based small business inclusion rather than targeted programs. This pattern underscores her alignment with agency-wide objectives to expand economic opportunity for small businesses across the federal marketplace. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 517410 (Satellite Telecommunications), reflecting expertise in secure, high-bandwidth communication systems. She also frequently procures services under NAICS 711510 (Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers) and 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), demonstrating a niche specialization in creative and workforce development solutions. Her technical domain expertise spans multimedia production, social science research services, and performance-based training delivery, positioning her as a strategic advisor in non-traditional acquisition spaces.
