Joanne M. Jaworski

Joanne M. Jaworski serves as Chief of the Market Ready Division, where she leads strategic procurement initiatives focused on food manufacturing and supply chain readiness. In this role, she oversees the acquisition of commercial food products essential to federal operations, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and nutritional standards. Her division is responsible for end-to-end contract management—from market analysis and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—primarily for perishable and shelf-stable food items. Jaworski’s expertise lies in aligning procurement strategies with operational needs while maintaining rigorous quality and safety controls across the supply chain. While specific contractor names are not available, Jaworski’s procurement patterns reflect a broad engagement with manufacturers and distributors specializing in food production. Her team maintains collaborative relationships with both large-scale producers and small business suppliers, emphasizing reliability, scalability, and regulatory adherence. Vendor partnerships are typically structured through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts and multiple-award task order mechanisms to ensure responsive and flexible sourcing. Jaworski’s office demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 94.1% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 5.9% of contracting opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a measured commitment to socioeconomic goals, prioritizing broad market access while maintaining operational efficiency and consistent supply. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 311812 (Commercial Bakeries) and 311511 (Fluid Milk Manufacturing), each accounting for 41.2% of activity, followed by 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing) and 311520 (Ice Cream and Frozen Dessert Manufacturing). These categories underscore her technical domain expertise in perishable food systems, baked goods, dairy products, and value-added frozen foods, positioning her as a key leader in federal food procurement with deep knowledge of food safety, cold chain logistics, and manufacturing compliance.
