Khadim Diaw

Khadim Diaw serves as a key procurement lead within the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) Brooklyn, operating under the Federal Bureau of Prisons within the Department of Justice. Responsible for managing acquisitions critical to the facility’s daily operations, Diaw oversees contracts that ensure the safe, lawful, and humane detention of federal inmates through the procurement of institutional services. Their work directly supports mission-critical functions including food service delivery, facility maintenance, and infrastructure support, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal procurement regulations and operational continuity standards. Diaw routinely handles service-based contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 13, prioritizing efficiency, accountability, and adherence to federal detention standards. Diaw maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse array of small business vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs aligned with the agency’s set-aside mandates. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, the procurement pattern reflects consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering high-volume food production and specialized facility repair services. Working relationships are characterized by structured competition, performance-based evaluations, and a preference for vendors with demonstrated experience in federal correctional environments. Diaw’s procurement strategy is uniformly dedicated to small business participation, with 100% of eligible acquisitions structured as full small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering economic opportunity within underserved communities and ensuring broad vendor access to federal detention support contracts. No other set-aside categories are utilized, underscoring a singular focus on small business inclusion as a core contracting principle. The primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), reflecting the agency’s need for compliant, scalable institutional meal production, and NAICS 238330 (Flooring Contractors), indicating ongoing infrastructure upgrades to meet safety and sanitation standards. Diaw’s expertise lies in managing complex service contracts requiring strict regulatory adherence, hygiene compliance, and durability in high-security correctional settings.
