Stacy L. Frydenlund

Stacy L. Frydenlund serves as a Purchasing Agent for Federal Prison Industries (Unicor), a U.S. Department of Justice component dedicated to providing vocational training and meaningful employment to incarcerated individuals through the production of goods and services for federal agencies. In this role, she manages the acquisition of essential commodities and industrial supplies aligned with Unicor’s mission of rehabilitation through industry. Her procurement activities focus on sourcing materials that support manufacturing operations, inmate-produced goods distribution, and facility maintenance, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and cost-efficiency goals while advancing the agency’s self-sufficiency objectives. Frydenlund maintains established relationships with a select group of key contractors, including Veterans Range Solutions, LLC, Krueger International, Inc., Veterans Environmental Group, LLC, Blind Industries and Services of Maryland, and Nightingale Corp. These partnerships reflect a strategic emphasis on vendors capable of delivering high-quality, mission-critical supplies—particularly in paper products, office supplies, and specialized food manufacturing—while aligning with Unicor’s operational needs and workforce development goals. Her contracting patterns demonstrate consistent collaboration with suppliers who meet stringent quality and delivery standards, often leveraging long-term agreements to ensure supply chain reliability. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with 42.9% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand economic opportunities for small and socially disadvantaged firms. While the majority of acquisitions are open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a proactive approach to socioeconomic contracting and inclusive supplier development. Frydenlund’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 424110 (Printing and Writing Paper Merchant Wholesalers) and 311119 (Other Animal Food Manufacturing), with additional activity in NAICS 424120 (Stationery and Office Supplies Merchant Wholesalers). She specializes in acquiring bulk paper products, office stationery, and specialized animal feed used in institutional settings, reflecting deep technical expertise in industrial supply chains and the logistical demands of federal correctional manufacturing operations.
