Kayla Haas

Kayla Haas serves as the Procurement and Property Officer at Federal Correctional Institution Leavenworth, a facility under the Bureau of Prisons within the Department of Justice. In this role, she manages the acquisition of mission-critical subsistence services essential to the safe, secure, and humane operation of the institution, with a primary focus on dietary compliance, nutritional adequacy, and religious accommodation. Her procurement portfolio centers on the sourcing of culturally and faith-specific meals, including Kosher and Halal offerings, ensuring adherence to federal dietary standards and constitutional protections for incarcerated populations. She oversees end-to-end contracting processes for food services, from solicitation through contract administration, ensuring alignment with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements and agency-specific operational mandates. Haas maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized food distributors and manufacturers, including ABNY Distribution LLC, Pueblo Trading Co Inc, L.A. Foods, LLC, and Shaver Foods LLC, all of whom provide compliant, high-volume food products tailored to institutional needs. She also collaborates with AMS Consultant for procurement support services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated expertise in religious dietary compliance, cold-chain logistics, and bulk food manufacturing, ensuring reliable, audit-ready supply chains. Haas’s contracting activity reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through designated programs, her procurement strategy emphasizes vendor reliability, regulatory compliance, and consistent service delivery over socioeconomic categorization. Her primary procurement activity is concentrated in NAICS 922160 (Fire Protection) and 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), with the latter dominating her portfolio. She specializes in acquiring specialized food products, including pre-packaged religious meals, shelf-stable provisions, and bulk ingredients requiring strict handling protocols, demonstrating deep technical expertise in institutional food systems and federal dietary compliance standards.
