MIA Caroline Owens

MIA Caroline Owens is a sole proprietorship based in Washington, DC, that provides gallery educator, curatorial assistant, and program support services to the Smithsonian Institution as a prime contractor on small, full-and-open purchase orders. All three recent awards—totaling $126 thousand in combined potential value—are with the Smithsonian Institution and carry no set-aside designation.

The vendor's federal footprint consists entirely of Smithsonian Institution work across curatorial and educational support functions. The three named awards are a $49,795 curatorial assistant services purchase order for the Asia-Pacific region (May 24, 2023, completion September 30, 2024); a $49,972 program assistant services purchase order for APAC Sightlines (June 5, 2024, completion November 30, 2025); and a $26,100 gallery educator services purchase order for the Hirshhorn Collection and Sculpture Garden (July 10, 2026, completion June 30, 2027). All work is performed in Washington, DC. The vendor has obligated $126 thousand against the combined potential value of $126 thousand across these three purchase orders, indicating full obligation to date. One award, the Sightlines program assistant contract, completes within the next twenty-four months and represents recompete exposure of $26 thousand.

MIA Caroline Owens operates exclusively through full-and-open competition; no awards carry set-aside designations. The vendor has no subcontract footprint in the source data and no participation in parent vehicles such as GWACs or agency-wide IDIQs. Activity is sparse—one award per year in 2023, 2024, and 2026—and concentrated on a single customer. This vendor profile aligns with a small, specialized cultural-institution support provider rather than a federal IT, engineering, or management-consulting firm.
