Everlenia S. Morrison

Everlenia S. Morrison serves as a Contract Specialist at FCI Elkton, part of the Federal Bureau of Prisons under the Department of Justice, where she manages the acquisition of critical food services and perishable supply chain solutions to sustain the nutritional and dietary needs of incarcerated populations. Her role centers on ensuring compliance with federal food safety standards, operational continuity, and supply chain resilience through the execution of competitive solicitations, contract administration, and performance monitoring. She routinely handles acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation for perishable prepared foods, baked goods, dairy products, and related wholesale distribution services, aligning procurement activities with the agency’s mission of safe, consistent, and nutritionally compliant food provision. Morrison maintains consistent working relationships with key vendors including SIRNA & SONS, INC, Schwebel Baking Company, and United Dairy, Inc., reflecting a preference for established suppliers with proven capacity in large-scale, high-volume food production and distribution. These partnerships are characterized by long-term contract performance, adherence to strict USDA and FDA compliance protocols, and reliability in just-in-time delivery schedules essential for correctional facility operations. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a nearly balanced approach between open competition and small business set-asides, with nearly half of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, actively engaging qualified small businesses in the food manufacturing and distribution sectors without reliance on specialized programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Morrison’s primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing), 311812 (Commercial Bakeries), and 311999 (Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), with significant activity in fluid milk production (311511) and dairy merchant wholesaling (424430). She possesses deep technical expertise in food safety standards, cold chain logistics, shelf-life compliance, and dietary specification alignment, ensuring all procurements meet federal correctional nutrition requirements.
