Samantha May

Samantha May serves as a key procurement lead at Federal Correctional Institution Three Rivers, operating under the Bureau of Prisons, where she manages the acquisition of essential subsistence and operational support services to ensure the safe, secure, and humane care of incarcerated populations. Her role centers on executing high-volume, mission-critical contracts aligned with federal dietary and logistical standards, with a primary focus on temporary staffing solutions to sustain daily institutional operations. She oversees the full lifecycle of acquisitions—from market research and solicitation to award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) requirements and agency-specific operational protocols. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, May consistently engages with a network of qualified temporary help services providers, including small business firms specializing in correctional support staffing. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated experience in federal correctional environments, emphasizing reliability, security clearance compliance, and adaptability to institutional protocols. She cultivates long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. May’s procurement strategy is fully aligned with small business objectives, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic equity, prioritizing participation from small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone firms, and other eligible small entities capable of delivering timely, compliant staffing services within secure federal facilities. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 561320 (Temporary Help Services), where she specializes in acquiring non-custodial support personnel such as food service aides, housekeeping staff, and logistical support workers. Her technical expertise lies in workforce solutions tailored to the unique operational demands of federal correctional institutions, ensuring staffing continuity while upholding strict security and nutritional standards.
