Samantha E. Mazzone

Samantha E. Mazzone serves as a key procurement lead within USP Hazelton, a high-security federal correctional facility under the Department of Justice’s Federal Bureau of Prisons. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions critical to sustaining the operational integrity of inmate subsistence and medical support services, ensuring compliance with constitutional standards for humane living conditions. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and performance monitoring—focusing on high-volume, mission-critical goods and services essential to institutional functioning. She routinely handles complex procurements involving food service, clinical care delivery, and medical equipment, aligning acquisitions with federal standards for safety, nutrition, and healthcare access in correctional environments. Mazzone maintains consistent working relationships with specialized vendors including SUMO MEDICAL STAFFING LLC, HUCKEYE HEALTH SERVICES LLC, and TURBO WHEELCHAIR CO, INC., reflecting a strategic emphasis on niche providers capable of delivering compliant, scalable medical staffing and mobility solutions within secure institutional settings. Her procurement patterns indicate a preference for established contractors with proven experience in federal correctional healthcare and logistics, fostering reliable, long-term vendor partnerships that prioritize continuity of care and regulatory adherence. Her contracting activity reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 39% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunity for qualified small entities within the healthcare and food manufacturing sectors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 311999 (Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing) and 622110 (General Medical and Surgical Hospitals), underscoring expertise in large-scale meal production, dietary compliance, and institutional medical services. She also routinely procures commercial bakery products, physician services, and perishable prepared foods, demonstrating specialized knowledge in nutritionally regulated, high-volume supply chains tailored to federal correctional healthcare mandates.
