Jeffrey Hayes

Jeffrey Hayes supports the Federal Medical Center at Butner in executing critical procurement operations essential to the Bureau of Prisons’ mission of delivering medically appropriate care to the federal inmate population. He manages acquisitions for food services, perishable food manufacturing, and related nutritional supplies, ensuring compliance with dietary standards and federal health regulations. His work directly enables the agency’s operational continuity by securing high-quality, safe, and consistent food products tailored to institutional healthcare needs. Hayes handles a range of contract types, including indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and requirements contracts, with a strong emphasis on meeting nutritional and safety benchmarks mandated by federal correctional healthcare policy. Hayes maintains a consistent working relationship with American Vet Solutions Inc., a key vendor providing specialized food products aligned with institutional medical and dietary requirements. His procurement approach reflects a preference for established contractors with demonstrated capacity in perishable food manufacturing and controlled distribution systems. These partnerships are characterized by long-term reliability, adherence to strict food safety protocols, and responsiveness to the unique logistical constraints of federal correctional facilities. His contracting activity reflects a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with 75% of acquisitions set aside under FAR 19.5 for total small business eligibility. This pattern underscores a strategic emphasis on fostering economic opportunity within the small business community while ensuring competitive, high-quality supply chains. While no other specific socioeconomic set-asides are dominant, his consistent use of small business set-asides signals a proactive alignment with federal goals for inclusive contracting. Hayes’ procurement focus centers on NAICS 112310 (Chicken Egg Production), 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing), and 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), reflecting his specialization in sourcing nutritionally compliant, shelf-stable, and refrigerated food items for institutional use. His technical expertise lies in the intersection of food safety standards, dietary restrictions for chronic illness management, and the logistical demands of federal correctional food service systems.
