Jessica Filler

Jessica Filler serves as a key procurement professional within the Federal Correctional Institution at Englewood, supporting the Bureau of Prisons’ mission to ensure the safe, secure, and humane operation of a federal detention facility. She manages acquisitions critical to sustaining daily institutional functions, with a focus on food services, facility maintenance, and operational infrastructure. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation to meet the high-volume, nutritionally compliant needs of a large-scale correctional environment. She routinely handles complex, mission-critical procurements requiring strict compliance with federal dietary standards and facility safety codes. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Filler maintains consistent working relationships with vendors specializing in perishable food manufacturing, dairy supply, bakery services, and HVAC systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, scalability, and regulatory compliance, favoring vendors with demonstrated capacity to deliver high-volume, low-margin goods under stringent federal operational constraints. She collaborates closely with suppliers who can meet USDA nutritional guidelines and maintain continuous supply chains for perishable and non-perishable institutional needs. Filler exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 73.3% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small business participation, particularly firms certified as small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone entities, and other eligible small business categories. Her contracting patterns consistently channel opportunities to small, community-based vendors capable of supporting the facility’s logistical demands while advancing federal small business goals. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 311991 (perishable prepared food manufacturing), 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors), 311511 (fluid milk manufacturing), 311811 (retail bakeries), and 112310 (chicken egg production). These reflect deep technical expertise in institutional food systems, facility maintenance, and supply chain resilience, ensuring the facility’s operational continuity through specialized, high-volume, and regulated procurement channels.
