Amber J. Wolfington

Amber J. Wolfington serves as a key procurement professional within the Federal Correctional Institution at Leavenworth, operating under the Bureau of Prisons. She manages acquisition programs critical to ensuring dietary compliance, nutritional adequacy, and religious accommodation for incarcerated populations. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for culturally and faith-specific food services, including Kosher and Halal meal programs, as well as related infrastructure support. Wolfington’s acquisitions are tightly aligned with the agency’s mission to deliver safe, secure, and humane subsistence services, emphasizing regulatory adherence, nutritional standards, and religious freedom under federal food service guidelines. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized vendors, including ABNY Distribution LLC, Pueblo Trading Co Inc, L.A. Foods, LLC, and Shaver Foods LLC, all of whom provide compliant, faith-sensitive food products and distribution services. Her procurement approach prioritizes vendors with demonstrated expertise in religious dietary requirements and USDA-compliant food manufacturing. She also collaborates with AMS Consultant for advisory services related to menu planning and regulatory alignment, fostering long-term, performance-based vendor partnerships grounded in reliability and cultural competency. Wolfington demonstrates a firm commitment to socioeconomic contracting, directing 100% of her eligible acquisitions toward total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her portfolio consistently supports small businesses without preference for specific socioeconomic categories, reflecting a broad-based dedication to expanding opportunities for small, independently owned vendors within the federal food supply chain. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), where she sources specialized meal kits and prepared foods tailored to religious and dietary mandates. She also manages NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) contracts to maintain kitchen and food service facility infrastructure, demonstrating technical expertise in both food production systems and institutional facility maintenance.
