Tina Jeffery serves as a Contract Specialist at the Federal Correctional Institution Manchester, part of the Bureau of Prisons under the Department of Justice. In this role, she manages the acquisition of critical subsistence and operational support services essential to the safe, secure, and humane care of incarcerated populations. Her procurement portfolio focuses on food services, dietary compliance, and facility-related supplies, with particular emphasis on Kosher-certified meat products, fresh dairy, and baked goods that meet federal nutritional standards. She ensures all acquisitions align with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) guidelines and agency mission priorities, balancing operational continuity with regulatory compliance and cost-effectiveness. While specific contractor names are not publicly available, Tina Jeffery maintains consistent working relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including food processors, dairy distributors, and institutional suppliers capable of meeting stringent federal dietary and safety protocols. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, traceability, and adherence to religious and nutritional requirements, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate capacity for scalable, compliant delivery across correctional environments. Jeffery exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 49% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. A modest but intentional portion supports Women-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden socioeconomic inclusion in federal food service contracting. Her approach prioritizes small business engagement without compromising the integrity of mission-critical supply chains. Her primary NAICS focus includes apparel and textile manufacturing categories—313210, 313240, and 315990—suggesting procurement of institutional uniforms, linens, and facility-related textile goods. She also engages with industrial equipment wholesalers (423830) and fastener manufacturers (339993), indicating a technical understanding of facility maintenance and operational infrastructure needs. Her expertise lies at the intersection of food service logistics, institutional compliance, and supply chain resilience within the federal corrections system.
