Laurence Faytaren

Laurence Faytaren serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Residential Reentry – Co, operating under the Federal Bureau of Prisons, supporting the agency’s mission to facilitate the reintegration of incarcerated individuals through community-based residential and supervised reentry services. While not a primary contracting officer, Faytaren plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for transitional support programs. Their work centers on managing solicitations and contract performance for Residential Reentry Centers (RRCs), home confinement oversight systems, and specialized services for vulnerable populations, including mothers and infants, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and programmatic outcomes. Faytaren maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GEO Reentry Inc., Behavioral Systems Southwest Inc., Working Alternatives, Inc., and The Mirror, Inc.—organizations specializing in reentry programming, behavioral health services, and case management systems. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, mission-aligned vendors with proven capacity in correctional reintegration services, often leveraging long-term performance histories and operational familiarity with BOP standards. Set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly non-targeted, with 95.6% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition, indicating a focus on capability and service quality over socioeconomic designations. Only 4.4% of awards utilize Total Small Business Set-Asides, suggesting a pragmatic approach to procurement that prioritizes programmatic effectiveness while maintaining minimal socioeconomic targeting. The agency’s procurement activity is dominated by NAICS 623990 (Other Residential Care Facilities), reflecting core investment in residential reentry center operations and related support services. Secondary categories include other computer-related services for case management systems and educational support services for vocational training. Faytaren’s expertise lies in procuring human services infrastructure that bridges correctional and community-based care, with a technical focus on evidence-based reentry models and integrated behavioral health delivery.
