A strong advocate for small business participation, Carroll consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over 56% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding economic opportunity and leveraging the agility and innovation of small business vendors in fulfilling USASOC’s unique operational needs. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate effort to maximize socioeconomic program utilization without compromising mission readiness. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 511130 (Newspaper, Periodical, Book, and Directory Publishers), reflecting a significant investment in doctrinal and leadership development content, alongside specialized services in custom computer programming (541511), machinery repair (811310), and search/navigation systems manufacturing (334511).
