Camillia Freeland-Taylor

Camillia Freeland-Taylor serves as an Agricultural Marketing Specialist, responsible for overseeing the procurement of processed agricultural commodities and value-added food products to support federal nutrition and food distribution programs. In this role, she ensures acquisitions align with federal food safety standards and supply chain resilience goals, managing solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for dried, frozen, and roasted food items. Her work directly supports agency missions requiring shelf-stable and nutritionally fortified food supplies, bridging agricultural production with federal procurement policy. Freeland-Taylor collaborates with a diverse base of food manufacturers and processors, primarily those certified under Good Manufacturing Practices and USDA food safety protocols. She engages with both large-scale producers and specialized small businesses capable of meeting stringent quality and packaging requirements for institutional use. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for vendors with proven experience in bulk food processing, cold chain logistics, and compliance with federal nutrition standards, fostering long-term supplier relationships grounded in reliability and regulatory adherence. Her procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach emphasizes technical capability and consistent product quality over socioeconomic classification, ensuring efficient delivery of mission-critical food commodities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 311423 (Dried and Dehydrated Food Manufacturing), followed by 311911 (Roasted Nuts and Peanut Butter Manufacturing) and 311411 (Frozen Fruit, Juice, and Vegetable Manufacturing). She specializes in sourcing high-quality, shelf-stable, and nutrient-dense food products for federal nutrition assistance programs, demonstrating deep expertise in food processing technologies, preservation methods, and compliance with FDA and USDA labeling and safety regulations.
