Derrik Moe

Derrik Moe serves as a key procurement lead within the Federal Prison Complex (FPC) Duluth, operating under the Department of Justice, where he is responsible for managing acquisitions critical to the daily sustenance and operational integrity of the federal correctional facility. His role centers on securing essential subsistence services, with a primary focus on food manufacturing and delivery systems that meet stringent federal nutritional and safety standards. Moe oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and agency-specific mission requirements. His acquisitions directly support the safe, secure, and humane operation of the facility by guaranteeing consistent, high-quality food service for incarcerated populations. Moe maintains a structured procurement environment focused on small business participation, with 100% of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. He actively cultivates partnerships with certified small manufacturers and food processors capable of delivering bulk, shelf-stable, and nutritionally compliant products in accordance with federal prison dietary guidelines. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated experience in institutional food production, quality control, and logistics under federal supply chain protocols. While no specific contractors are publicly identified, his portfolio consistently engages small businesses with expertise in food safety, HACCP compliance, and bulk packaging. Moe’s procurement strategy is exclusively aligned with NAICS 311999, All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing, reflecting a specialized focus on non-standardized, facility-specific food products such as pre-packaged meals, fortified staples, and dietary-restricted formulations. His technical domain expertise lies in institutional food systems, including compliance with USDA nutritional standards, allergen controls, and shelf-life management for long-term storage. He ensures all procurements support the agency’s mission of sustaining safe, nutritionally adequate, and logistically reliable food service operations within a high-security federal correctional environment.
