Lucas Bergevin

Lucas Bergevin serves as a key procurement lead at the Federal Correctional Institution at Loretto, operating under the Bureau of Prisons within the Department of Justice. Responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain institutional operations, he oversees the procurement of subsistence and facility support services critical to the safe, secure, and humane custody of incarcerated individuals. His portfolio centers on food systems and related nutritional services, ensuring compliance with federal dietary standards and operational continuity. Bergevin’s role is integral to fulfilling the agency’s mission by securing reliable, high-quality provisions that meet stringent health and safety requirements, primarily through competitive contracting processes under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Bergevin maintains consistent working relationships with vendors specializing in institutional food production, bulk commodity supply, and prepared meal services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for vendors capable of scaling operations to meet the demands of a federal correctional facility, with an emphasis on food safety certifications, logistical reliability, and adherence to USDA nutritional guidelines. Vendor partnerships are typically structured through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts and requirements contracts to ensure uninterrupted service delivery. Bergevin demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 66.7% of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns prioritize small business participation, aligning with the Department of Justice’s broader goals to expand opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and community-based suppliers. While no specific set-aside categories like 8(a) or HUBZone are dominant, the consistent use of total small business set-asides signals a deliberate strategy to foster local economic resilience and vendor diversity. His procurement focus is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 311999, All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing, reflecting deep expertise in institutional food systems. He procures specialized products such as nutritionally balanced, shelf-stable meals, refrigerated and frozen entrees, and bulk food components tailored to correctional facility requirements. His technical domain expertise lies in food safety protocols, cold chain logistics, and compliance with federal dietary mandates for institutional feeding programs.
