Adreina Fludd-Bennett

Adreina Fludd-Bennett serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements determination to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing and transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily consists of supply contracts for perishable and prepared food products, requiring meticulous attention to food safety standards, cold chain logistics, and supplier performance metrics. She works closely with program managers to translate operational needs into enforceable contract terms that safeguard public health and ensure timely delivery. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns indicate a consistent engagement with food manufacturing vendors capable of meeting stringent federal quality and safety requirements. She cultivates relationships with both large-scale producers and small businesses that demonstrate capacity for scalable, compliant food production, often requiring certifications such as HACCP, USDA inspection, and FDA registration. Her approach emphasizes vendor reliability, regulatory adherence, and responsiveness to evolving dietary and nutritional standards. Adreina demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 60% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small businesses in the food manufacturing sector, prioritizing firms that may not typically compete for large federal contracts. Her pattern of awarding nearly equal portions between small business set-asides and open competitions suggests a balanced approach—promoting competition while actively expanding the small business base in this specialized market. Her primary NAICS focus is on perishable prepared food manufacturing (311991) and other miscellaneous food manufacturing (311999), indicating deep expertise in procuring ready-to-eat meals, frozen entrees, and value-added food products for institutional use. She specializes in acquisitions requiring strict shelf-life controls, allergen management, and nutritional labeling compliance, making her a key liaison between federal nutrition programs and the food production industry.
