answering of the query (BE: enquiry AE: inquiry)
Explanation:
evacuar una consulta -> (1) to answer an inquiry (2) to issue an advisory opinion, West.
Inquiry in BrE has a slightly different meaning of an investigation, like a police one.
evacuar: entry > process, address or deal with, West
compare: evacuar pruebas which has come up many times on ProZ.

I've included all 3 terms of 'query', enquiry and inquiry in case anyone, again, tries to lift part of my answer.

Explanation:
From what I am reading that is what it appears to be. I don't want to say I am an expert but from what I can see that is what it seems to be.

If I am wrong, I hope someone is able to help you.

carry out a consultation


Explanation:
carry out/perform a consultation
Creo que tu propuesta es correcta; evacuar, en este caso, se usa como sinónimo de realizar, ejecutar, llevar a cabo, en el sentido de las acepciones 4 y 5 del diccionario de la RAE:
4. tr. Desempeñar un encargo, informe o cosa semejante.
5. tr. Der. Cumplir un trámite. Evacuar un traslado, una diligencia.

Asker: ¡Hola! Sí, busqué en la RAE y encontré ‘realizar [consultas]’. https://www.rae.es/dpd/evacuar, pero no me quedaba bien con lo que encontré en inglés. Muchas gracias nuevamente.

  -> Diolch in Welsh, gracias and thanks, Marie.
agree  Jane Martin

  -> Gracias and thanks, Jane.
agree  neilmac: "The irony is strong with this one". King my hirsute posterior.
1 hr
  -> Gracias and thanks, Neil. All I - mindlessly and brainlessly did - was to adapt West's readymade answer. Otherwise, I wanted to dodge the AmE inquiry vs. BrE enquiry quandary that Wilsonn so subtly has picked up on.
agree  AllegroTrans: "response/responding" to the query; 100% pish wash from Wilsonn concerning the reason why English is widespread.
2 hrs
  -> Gracias and thanks, Chris. There is a reason Wilsonn spells his name with two 'n's' but I can't quite remember why.
agree  patinba
3 hrs
  -> Thanks, Patrick. I could claim that West's glossary confirmed my own hunch, though it looks like I - mindlessly - just lifted his answer.
agree  Wilsonn Perez Reyes: (to) answer an INQUIRY. American English RULES. American English is King. English language is widespread not because of the UK, but because of the USA. DO NOT EVER FORGET THIS.
11 hrs
  -> Gracias and thanks, Wilsonn. I - with many relatives in the USA (law & education) and Canada (insurance & accounting) - don't actually disagree with you.
