Judy A Burton

Judy A. Burton serves as an Agricultural Marketing Specialist, responsible for overseeing procurement activities related to food supply chain infrastructure and agricultural commodity distribution. In this role, she ensures the acquisition of essential food products and processing services that support federal nutrition programs and market stabilization initiatives. Her work bridges agricultural production with federal procurement systems, focusing on the reliable delivery of perishable and shelf-stable food commodities. She manages solicitations and contract awards aligned with USDA’s marketing and food distribution objectives, often coordinating with state agencies, cooperatives, and private-sector processors to meet national food security goals. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, her procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with manufacturers and wholesale distributors within the dairy and grain sectors. She typically works with mid-to-large-scale food processors and merchant wholesalers capable of meeting federal quality, safety, and delivery standards under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and USDA Food Safety Inspection Service guidelines. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, contractual compliance, and supply chain resilience. Burton’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on maximizing market access and leveraging broad industry capacity rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories. Her approach prioritizes competitive pricing, scalability, and consistent product quality over socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains compliant with all federal small business participation reporting requirements. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 311513 (Cheese Manufacturing) and 424510 (Grain and Field Bean Merchant Wholesalers), indicating deep expertise in dairy and bulk grain procurement. She specializes in acquiring bulk commodity inputs, value-added dairy products, and wholesale distribution services critical to federal food assistance programs. Her technical domain includes food safety protocols, cold chain logistics, and bulk commodity grading standards under USDA Agricultural Marketing Service guidelines.
