Miami has long been a city of traders, a gateway where goods and deals move between the Americas and the world. Sterile Services Co. trades with the federal government, and does it from a headquarters in Miami. At the head of the company is its founder and CEO, Fania Carter, who brings more than 15 years of strategic federal contracting experience.

A woman-led company in a federal market

The small-business programs federal agencies use to spread their contracts are spelled out in certifications, and SSC holds a long list. Federal contracting data shows its SBA certifications as 8(a), HUBZone, women-owned and economically disadvantaged women-owned, both since 2021, plus service-disabled veteran-owned and veteran-owned. In 2023 the SBA approved a mentor-protégé agreement pairing SSC with Solution One Industries.

Those programs matter. In fiscal year 2024, women-owned small businesses received $31.68 billion in federal prime contracts, 4.97% of the total, just under the government's 5% goal.

Services, supply and software

Under Carter, SSC runs three divisions: services that run programs, IT help desks, logistics and facilities; a nationwide supply business for industrial, medical, office, janitorial and IT products; and a software arm that built TrackHubs, a quote-to-cash platform for resellers and distributors. In October 2026, HP named SSC an HP Amplify Impact Advocate for its sustainability progress.
