Vincent M. Dellinger

Vincent M. Dellinger serves as a Contract Specialist at Federal Correctional Institution Williamsburg, part of the Bureau of Prisons under the Department of Justice. In this role, he is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions to support institutional operations, with a primary focus on ensuring the reliable delivery of food services and mission-critical support functions. His acquisitions are aligned with the agency’s mandate to provide safe, secure, and humane conditions for incarcerated populations, emphasizing compliance with federal dietary standards and health regulations. Dellinger typically handles service-based contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, including requirements for food service contractors, facility maintenance, and administrative support services. While specific contractor names are not available, Dellinger maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, particularly those capable of meeting stringent federal prison operational standards. His contracting approach emphasizes accountability, performance metrics, and adherence to USDA nutritional guidelines, fostering partnerships with vendors experienced in institutional food service, logistics, and compliance-driven service delivery. He works closely with suppliers to ensure continuity of operations under high-security constraints and regularly engages in pre-solicitation outreach to clarify technical and regulatory expectations. Dellinger demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 57.1% of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize small business participation, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs, to promote economic opportunity while maintaining service quality. His procurement patterns consistently favor small business vendors, aligning with federal mandates to enhance competition and diversity in federal contracting. His primary NAICS focus areas include 722310 (Food Service Contractors), reflecting his core responsibility for institutional meal programs, alongside 813110 (Religious Organizations), 323117 (Books Printing), and 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings). These reflect a broad but mission-aligned portfolio that supports both operational and ancillary needs within the correctional facility, demonstrating expertise in managing complex, compliance-sensitive service acquisitions.
