Dan Guidry

Dan Guidry serves as a key procurement lead at the Federal Correctional Institution at Sheridan, operating under the Bureau of Prisons within the Department of Justice. He is responsible for managing the acquisition of essential institutional services critical to the safe and humane operation of a federal detention facility. His portfolio centers on sustaining daily operational needs, including nutritional services, medical logistics, and facility maintenance. Guidry handles a range of contract types—from requirements-based indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to firm-fixed-price agreements—ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and mission-aligned resource allocation. His work directly supports the agency’s mandate to provide reliable, high-standard services to an incarcerated population. Guidry maintains consistent working relationships with a network of small business vendors specializing in food service, medical supply distribution, and facility maintenance. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he regularly engages with firms certified under small business programs, fostering a collaborative environment grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, quality control, and supply chain resilience, particularly for mission-critical consumables and infrastructure support. A defining feature of Guidry’s contracting pattern is his exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, reflecting a full commitment to socioeconomic inclusion. He prioritizes small business participation across all procurement actions, ensuring equitable access for 8(a), HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This structured approach not only meets statutory obligations but also strengthens local economic development and enhances contract performance through agile, community-based vendors. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 311612 (Meat Processed from Carcasses) and 311511 (Fluid Milk Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in institutional food service procurement. He also manages contracts under 332992 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing) and 481211 (Nonscheduled Chartered Passenger Air Transportation), reflecting specialized needs for security logistics and inmate transfer support. His technical domain spans food safety standards, cold chain management, and secure transportation protocols, demonstrating a nuanced understanding of operational requirements within a high-security correctional environment.
