Shalonda McKoy

Shalonda McKoy serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Federal Correctional Institution at Bennettsville, supporting the Bureau of Prisons’ mission to deliver nutritionally adequate, culturally appropriate, and federally compliant food services to incarcerated populations. Her role involves facilitating the acquisition of perishable and specialty food products that meet strict dietary, religious, and health standards across extended care cycles. She contributes to the planning, solicitation, and administration of contracts aligned with federal food safety and procurement regulations, ensuring supply chain continuity for mission-critical nutrition programs. Her acquisitions primarily center on manufactured food items, fresh produce distribution, and frozen specialty products requiring precise handling and storage protocols. McKoy maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of vendors including Portland Foods Inc., Shaver Foods LLC, North Star Imports, LLC, and JNS Foods LLC. These contractors specialize in the production and wholesale distribution of perishable, frozen, and culturally tailored food items that align with federal inmate dietary requirements. Her procurement pattern reflects a preference for established, reliable suppliers with demonstrated capacity to meet stringent USDA and BOP compliance standards, often involving multi-year delivery schedules and just-in-time logistics coordination. Her contracting activity is exclusively designated under the Total Small Business Set-Aside provision (FAR 19.5), reflecting a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic inclusion. All awards are reserved for small businesses, with no open competition to large entities, reinforcing the agency’s dedication to empowering small-scale food manufacturers and distributors. This pattern supports broader DOJ and BOP goals of fostering resilient, community-based supply chains. McKoy’s procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), followed by frozen specialty food manufacturing (311412), fluid milk production (311511), and commercial baking (311812). She specializes in sourcing ready-to-serve meals, religiously compliant entrees, fortified dairy products, and bakery items that meet federal nutritional guidelines. Her expertise lies in navigating the intersection of food safety regulation, cultural dietary needs, and cold-chain logistics within federal correctional environments.
