Alice M. Hanselman

Alice M. Hanselman serves as a Contract Specialist at the Federal Correctional Complex (FCC) Allenwood under the Bureau of Prisons, where she manages the acquisition of critical subsistence and facility support services essential to the safe and humane operation of a federal correctional institution. Her procurement portfolio centers on food production, distribution, and maintenance services that sustain daily institutional functions. She executes contracts in full compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission to deliver reliable, cost-effective, and compliant services to incarcerated populations while upholding federal standards for security and operational continuity. Hanselman maintains a consistent working relationship with Shaver Foods LLC, a primary vendor providing institutional food services and supply chain solutions tailored to correctional facility requirements. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence, particularly for suppliers capable of meeting strict dietary, safety, and logistical standards unique to federal corrections. She engages primarily with contractors experienced in high-volume, low-margin food service operations and facility maintenance, ensuring continuity of essential services under constrained operational environments. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity for small businesses while maintaining service quality and supply chain resilience. While no set-aside preferences are exclusively dominant, her consistent reliance on small business contracting underscores a proactive effort to meet federal socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical outcomes. Though specific NAICS codes are not available, her acquisitions are heavily concentrated in institutional food service, culinary operations, and facility maintenance—domains requiring specialized expertise in bulk procurement, cold chain logistics, and compliance with federal nutrition and sanitation standards. Her technical domain expertise lies in managing complex, high-volume subsistence contracts that demand precision in delivery schedules, inventory control, and regulatory compliance within a secure institutional setting.
