Timmie A. Bullock

Timmie A. Bullock serves as a Contract Specialist at the Federal Medical Center at Butner (FMC Butner), part of the Federal Bureau of Prisons under the Department of Justice. In this role, Bullock is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions to ensure the timely and compliant acquisition of essential goods and services supporting the health and welfare of the incarcerated population. Their work centers on food services, pharmaceuticals, and medical supplies, aligning acquisitions with federal dietary standards, clinical protocols, and operational safety requirements. Bullock routinely handles commercial item procurements under FAR Part 12 and manages both sealed bid and negotiated contracts to meet the unique logistical and regulatory demands of a federal medical correctional facility. Bullock maintains a consistent working relationship with American Vet Solutions Inc., a key vendor providing specialized food and medical supply solutions tailored to institutional healthcare settings. Their contracting approach emphasizes reliability, regulatory compliance, and supply chain resilience, often partnering with vendors who demonstrate expertise in handling bulk, temperature-sensitive, and medically compliant products. These vendor relationships are built on sustained performance, adherence to federal food safety standards, and responsiveness to evolving clinical needs within a secure environment. Bullock demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 67.5% of their procurements structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize economically disadvantaged and community-based suppliers, fostering local economic development while ensuring diverse, reliable sourcing. Their contracting patterns consistently favor small business eligibility categories, reinforcing the agency’s mission to integrate socioeconomic goals into mission-critical acquisitions. The majority of Bullock’s procurements fall under NAICS 424470 (Meat and Meat Product Merchant Wholesalers) and 424410 (General Line Grocery Merchant Wholesalers), underscoring a primary focus on institutional food distribution. Additional activity in NAICS 311999 (Miscellaneous Food Manufacturing) and 622110 (General Medical and Surgical Hospitals) highlights expertise in sourcing specialized dietary products and medical consumables. Their technical domain expertise lies in navigating the intersection of nutrition, pharmaceutical compliance, and federal correctional logistics.
