Lance M. Wiley

Lance M. Wiley serves as a Procurement and Property Specialist at USP Big Sandy, a facility within the Federal Bureau of Prisons under the Department of Justice. In this role, he manages the acquisition of mission-critical food and subsistence services to ensure nutritional compliance, food safety, and operational continuity for incarcerated populations. His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on perishable and prepared food products, as well as wholesale grocery distribution. Wiley’s work directly supports the agency’s mandate to deliver consistent, safe, and legally compliant dietary services in a high-security institutional environment. Wiley maintains a consistent working relationship with EAST BAKING COMPANY, INC., a primary vendor for baked goods and prepared food items essential to institutional meal plans. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, adherence to USDA dietary guidelines, and supply chain resilience, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on quality control and regulatory compliance. He engages primarily with manufacturers and merchant wholesalers capable of meeting stringent federal food safety and delivery standards, prioritizing vendors with demonstrated capacity for large-scale, just-in-time distribution to correctional facilities. Wiley demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 73.5% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns consistently favor small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, reflecting a deliberate strategy to broaden economic opportunity while maintaining service quality. This focus aligns with broader Department of Justice goals to promote equitable contracting and strengthen local supply networks. His primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing) and 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing), reflecting expertise in acquiring ready-to-serve meals, baked goods, and specialty dietary products. He also procures through NAICS 424410, 424430, and 424490, indicating deep familiarity with grocery and dairy wholesale channels. Wiley’s technical domain expertise lies in institutional food systems, including allergen management, shelf-life compliance, and temperature-controlled logistics tailored to federal correctional standards.
