Charlotte A. Scrimshire

Charlotte A. Scrimshire serves as a Contract Specialist at the Federal Correctional Institution at Seagoville, part of the Bureau of Prisons under the Department of Justice. In this role, she manages the acquisition of critical health and operational services essential to maintaining constitutionally compliant dietary and medical standards for incarcerated populations. Her procurement responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for medical, dietary, and facility support services, ensuring alignment with federal regulations and institutional mission requirements. She plays a pivotal role in translating operational needs into legally sound, competitively awarded contracts that uphold the agency’s commitment to health, safety, and religious accommodation. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly detailed, Scrimshire routinely engages with a diverse pool of vendors, including specialized food service providers, medical practitioners, and waste management contractors. Her working relationships emphasize compliance with federal procurement standards and foster partnerships with firms capable of delivering culturally appropriate meals, clinical services, and sanitation solutions tailored to correctional environments. She maintains a collaborative approach with vendors to ensure consistent service delivery and regulatory adherence across contract performance cycles. Scrimshire demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 75% of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small business participation, including 8(a), HUBZone, and woman-owned firms, aligning with federal mandates to expand economic opportunity. Her contracting patterns consistently channel opportunities toward small, qualified vendors capable of meeting the unique demands of federal correctional operations. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories related to health services, particularly 621399 (miscellaneous health practitioners) and 621111 (physician offices), indicating a strong emphasis on clinical and dietary health support. She also procures dental services, mental health care, and solid waste collection, demonstrating expertise in managing complex, regulated service contracts within a secure institutional setting.
