Tammy LaMirand

Tammy LaMirand serves as the primary procurement lead for the Federal Correctional Complex Lompoc, operating under the Bureau of Prisons within the Department of Justice. In this role, she oversees the acquisition of mission-critical goods and services essential to sustaining institutional operations, including food service systems, facility maintenance, and environmental control infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contracting activities—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic goals of humane, secure, and efficient correctional operations. She primarily manages sole-source and competitive sealed bid procurements for specialized industrial and food service requirements. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, LaMirand maintains consistent partnerships with vendors capable of delivering high-volume, low-margin food manufacturing and HVAC services under stringent federal prison standards. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for vendors with demonstrated experience in institutional-scale food production, sanitation compliance, and climate control systems tailored to correctional environments. She engages both established contractors and emerging small businesses, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in reliability, regulatory adherence, and operational continuity. LaMirand exhibits a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting, directing 100% of her procurements toward small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This unwavering focus ensures maximum participation from small businesses, including those owned by women, veterans, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, in alignment with federal mandates to promote equitable economic opportunity. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business eligibility and capability over size-based advantages. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 311999 (All Other Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing), reflecting her oversight of institutional meal production, nutritional compliance, and food safety systems, alongside NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) for facility infrastructure maintenance. Her expertise centers on procuring specialized food processing equipment, climate control units, and maintenance services that meet Bureau of Prisons’ operational and security protocols.
