Victoria N. Carey

Victoria N. Carey serves as a procurement professional dedicated to advancing mission-critical technology and professional services acquisitions within her organization. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts centered on software development, systems design, and specialized technical services, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and operational priorities. Her work supports the agency’s digital transformation initiatives by securing innovative solutions from qualified vendors, with a strong emphasis on compliance, competition, and performance-based contracting. Carey’s acquisitions are primarily non-segmented, reflecting a strategic focus on open competition while maintaining targeted opportunities for small business participation. Her contractor relationships are broadly distributed across the professional services and information technology sectors, with no single vendor dominating her award portfolio. She engages with a wide spectrum of firms—from large systems integrators to niche software developers—fostering competitive environments that prioritize technical capability, past performance, and cost-effectiveness. Carey encourages responsive bidding through clear solicitation language and structured evaluation criteria, promoting transparency and fairness in source selection. She demonstrates a deliberate commitment to small business inclusion, with 20% of her acquisitions set aside for total small business concerns under FAR 19.5. While she does not prioritize specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, her consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a strategic effort to broaden vendor participation and enhance market diversity. Her contracting approach balances broad competition with intentional support for emerging and underserved market participants. Carey’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), and 541990 (Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services). She routinely acquires custom software solutions, cloud-enabled platforms, data analytics tools, and specialized consulting services, demonstrating deep familiarity with modern IT architectures and agile development methodologies. Her expertise ensures that technical requirements are clearly defined and aligned with evolving federal digital standards.
