Nicholas R. Roth

Nicholas R. Roth serves as a Procurement & Property Specialist at FPC Duluth, a unit of the Federal Bureau of Prisons under the Department of Justice, where he manages the acquisition of critical subsistence and infrastructure support services essential to the safe and humane operation of the correctional facility. His responsibilities include sourcing, evaluating, and awarding contracts for food service supplies, environmental safety equipment, and facility maintenance resources, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and operational readiness standards. Roth’s work directly supports the daily needs of incarcerated populations by securing reliable, high-quality provisions that align with nutritional, sanitary, and logistical requirements. Roth maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in food manufacturing, dairy distribution, and facility support services. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, his procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with suppliers capable of meeting stringent federal food safety and delivery standards. He works closely with both large-scale distributors and small, specialized providers to ensure supply chain resilience and service continuity across mission-critical operations. A strong advocate for small business participation, Roth consistently prioritizes small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, with 62.5% of his acquisitions designated for small businesses overall. His contracting approach actively promotes equitable access for disadvantaged entrepreneurs, aligning with the Department of Justice’s socioeconomic goals. This commitment is evident in the high frequency of awards directed toward small business concerns, including those certified under HUBZone, 8(a), and WOSB programs. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 311999 (miscellaneous food manufacturing) and 311511 (fluid milk manufacturing), reflecting a deep specialization in perishable food supply chains and dairy-based nutrition programs. He also frequently procures through NAICS 424430 for dairy product wholesale distribution, demonstrating technical expertise in cold-chain logistics, shelf-life compliance, and USDA-aligned nutritional standards. His domain knowledge ensures that all acquisitions meet federal dietary guidelines and facility operational constraints.
