Kristi M Sambrookes

Kristi M. Sambrookes serves as a key procurement professional within the Federal Medical Center at Carswell, part of the Federal Bureau of Prisons under the Department of Justice. Responsible for managing food service and facility support acquisitions, she ensures compliance with federal nutritional standards, religious dietary accommodations—including Kosher certification—and operational readiness for a high-security medical inmate population. Her acquisitions primarily support institutional food supply chains, medical infrastructure, and facility maintenance services, aligning with the agency’s mission to deliver safe, culturally responsive, and nutritionally compliant care. She handles a mix of direct procurement and contract vehicles under FAR Part 13 and Part 19, prioritizing efficiency and regulatory adherence. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Sambrookes maintains consistent relationships with merchant wholesalers specializing in perishable and non-perishable food commodities, including meat, poultry, dairy, and grocery lines. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, reliable vendors with demonstrated capacity to meet federal food safety and delivery standards. Vendor partnerships are typically structured through blanket purchase agreements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contracts to ensure continuity of service across a complex, high-volume operational environment. Sambrookes demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 34.7% of her acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides are dominant, her portfolio consistently prioritizes small business eligibility, reflecting the agency’s broader goal of fostering economic opportunity within the federal contracting ecosystem. Her contracting patterns align with Bureau of Prisons directives to increase small business engagement without compromising service quality or supply chain resilience. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 622110 for institutional healthcare support, alongside significant activity in food wholesale sectors—424410, 424470, 424440, and 424430—reflecting deep expertise in perishable goods logistics, dietary compliance, and large-scale institutional feeding operations. She brings specialized knowledge in federal food service regulations, HACCP protocols, and religious dietary accommodations, ensuring all acquisitions meet stringent DOJ and USDA standards.
