Roy D. Livingston

Roy D. Livingston serves as a Contract Specialist within the Property Management - Co division of the Department of Justice’s Federal Bureau of Prisons, where he plays a pivotal role in executing acquisitions that support behavioral health and reentry services for incarcerated and transitioning populations. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal regulations and alignment with the agency’s mission to expand access to residential and outpatient mental health and substance use treatment programs. His acquisitions typically encompass clinical services, reentry support systems, staffing contracts for behavioral health professionals, and related operational infrastructure. Livingston collaborates with a diverse array of service providers, including nonprofit organizations, community-based behavioral health clinics, and specialized reentry service vendors. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages firms with proven experience in correctional healthcare delivery, trauma-informed care models, and post-release case management. His working relationships emphasize performance-based outcomes, quality assurance metrics, and compliance with DOJ and BOP operational standards. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on maximizing competition and value rather than socioeconomic preferences, though he remains compliant with all applicable small business regulations. His approach prioritizes capability and proven track record over certification status, ensuring the highest quality of care for vulnerable populations. Livingston’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories related to outpatient mental health services (621420), residential intellectual and developmental disability services (623220), and social assistance activities (624190). He specializes in acquiring clinical staffing, counseling programs, substance use disorder interventions, and reentry coordination services—all critical to reducing recidivism and promoting successful community reintegration.
