Michelle Moore

Michelle Moore serves as a procurement specialist responsible for managing acquisitions within the federal food supply chain, with a dedicated focus on fluid milk manufacturing under NAICS 311511. Her role centers on ensuring the timely and compliant procurement of perishable dairy products to support federal nutrition programs, including those administered through the Department of Agriculture and related agencies. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—emphasizing food safety standards, cold chain logistics, and adherence to federal food procurement regulations. Her expertise lies in navigating the unique requirements of perishable goods procurement, including strict shelf-life controls, sanitary handling protocols, and Just-in-Time delivery specifications. Michelle maintains a broad vendor base of dairy processors and food manufacturers, engaging primarily with large-scale fluid milk producers and certified food safety-compliant suppliers. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry players with proven capacity to meet federal quality and volume demands, often through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts and blanket purchase agreements. She prioritizes vendors with USDA-inspected facilities and robust traceability systems, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in reliability and regulatory compliance. Michelle’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on maximizing market access for qualified suppliers rather than socioeconomic set-asides, aligning with the specialized nature of fluid milk production, which requires significant infrastructure and regulatory certifications typically held by larger, established entities. Her primary technical domain is fluid milk manufacturing, encompassing the procurement of pasteurized, homogenized, and fortified dairy products for institutional feeding programs. She possesses deep familiarity with FDA and USDA food safety standards, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs), and the technical specifications governing dairy product composition, labeling, and transportation. Her expertise ensures the consistent delivery of safe, high-quality dairy products to federal facilities nationwide.
