Carolyn R Evans

Carolyn R. Evans serves as an Inventory Management Specialist at Federal Correctional Institution Williamsburg, where she plays a critical role in ensuring the consistent and compliant procurement of food and perishable supplies essential to the Bureau of Prisons’ mission of providing safe, humane, and nutritionally adequate services to incarcerated populations. Her responsibilities include managing inventory lifecycle processes, forecasting supply needs, and coordinating with procurement teams to execute acquisitions aligned with federal dietary standards and health compliance requirements. She primarily handles low-to-mid-tier acquisitions of food products and related logistics services, ensuring operational readiness through reliable, just-in-time supply chain execution. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Evans collaborates with a diverse network of food service vendors, including specialty distributors, regional wholesalers, and certified small businesses that meet stringent federal food safety and handling protocols. Her working relationships emphasize reliability, regulatory adherence, and consistent delivery performance, with a strong preference for vendors capable of supplying perishable and shelf-stable items under strict temperature and traceability controls. Evans demonstrates a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with 74.2% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize economically disadvantaged, HUBZone, and other socioeconomically disadvantaged firms, reinforcing the Bureau of Prisons’ broader goals of equitable contracting and community economic development. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing), 424410 (General Line Grocery Merchant Wholesalers), and 311999 (Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in sourcing ready-to-serve meals, bulk dry goods, dairy products, and baked goods. She specializes in acquiring items that meet USDA nutritional guidelines and institutional food service specifications, demonstrating technical proficiency in food safety regulations, cold chain logistics, and compliance-driven supply chain management.
