Michelle Moore

Michelle J. Moore serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing acquisitions within the food manufacturing and perishable goods sector, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and agency supply chain requirements. Her work centers on securing high-volume, shelf-stable, and perishable food products critical to federal operations, including institutional feeding programs and emergency response logistics. She oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—emphasizing quality control, delivery reliability, and regulatory adherence under FAR Part 12 and Part 19. Her portfolio is narrowly focused on industrial food production, reflecting a specialized expertise in supply chain dynamics for perishable commodities. Moore maintains consistent relationships with a stable base of food manufacturers and processors, particularly those certified under small business programs. While no single contractor dominates her award stream, her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established, GSA-registered suppliers with demonstrated capacity in bulk food production and cold-chain logistics. She engages primarily with mid-tier manufacturers capable of meeting federal food safety standards, including USDA and FDA compliance, and frequently collaborates with vendors holding SQF or HACCP certifications. Her procurement strategy prioritizes non-set-aside acquisitions, with 90.4% of awards issued under unrestricted competition. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 9.6% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced approach that ensures competition while fostering economic inclusion. She does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring broad small business eligibility criteria to maximize vendor diversity within the food manufacturing space. Moore’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 311511 (Fluid Milk Manufacturing), 311991 (Perishable Prepared Food Manufacturing), and 311812 (Commercial Bakeries), reflecting deep domain expertise in dairy, baked goods, and ready-to-eat food systems. She routinely procures bulk pasteurized milk, frozen desserts, refrigerated meals, and commercial bakery items, requiring precise cold-chain management and shelf-life compliance. Her technical knowledge spans food safety protocols, packaging standards, and Just-in-Time delivery requirements for federal institutional customers.
