Bernice E Mack

Bernice E. Mack serves as a Printing Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition of commercial printing services to support agency-wide communication and documentation needs. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while overseeing the full lifecycle of printing contracts—from requirements determination and market research to contract award and performance monitoring. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to produce high-quality, timely printed materials, including reports, forms, publications, and informational collateral. She specializes in sole-source and competitive acquisitions under the Commercial Printing NAICS code, ensuring alignment with federal standards for print quality, security, and delivery timelines. Bernice collaborates with a broad network of commercial print vendors capable of delivering offset, digital, and large-format printing services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven capabilities in high-volume, secure printing environments and those equipped to handle sensitive or classified materials under appropriate clearance protocols. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, turnaround efficiency, and adherence to environmental and accessibility standards, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who meet stringent quality and compliance benchmarks. Her contracting patterns reflect a strict preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical capability and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic designation-based preferences, aligning with the nature of commercial printing services where broad market competition ensures optimal outcomes. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains fully transparent and compliant with all federal socioeconomic contracting guidelines. Bernice’s primary procurement focus is NAICS 323111—Commercial Printing (except Screen and Books)—encompassing offset lithography, digital printing, binding, finishing, and related value-added services. She specializes in procuring materials requiring high fidelity reproduction, secure handling, and bulk production, demonstrating deep expertise in print specifications, color management, paper stock selection, and compliance with federal accessibility standards such as Section 508. Her technical domain expertise ensures that all printed outputs meet both functional and regulatory requirements.
