Darlene Workcuff

Darlene C. Workcuff serves as an Agency Publishing Specialist, responsible for managing the acquisition and production of printed and digital publications essential to agency communications and public outreach. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal publishing standards while overseeing the full lifecycle of procurement activities—from requirements definition and solicitation to contract award and performance monitoring. Her work supports the agency’s mission to disseminate accurate, accessible, and timely information to stakeholders, making her a critical link between content development and operational execution within the federal procurement framework. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, Darlene consistently engages with commercial printing vendors capable of delivering high-quality, large-volume print runs and digital publishing solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, adherence to federal printing specifications, and timely delivery, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors experienced in government-compliant production environments. She maintains a vendor-neutral stance, prioritizing technical capability and regulatory compliance over preferred vendor lists. Darlene’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, her procurement process remains transparent and accessible to all qualified vendors, aligning with federal mandates for fair and equitable competition. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 323111 (Commercial Printing, excluding Screen and Books), which accounts for 92.3% of her activity, encompassing brochures, reports, forms, and public information materials. The remaining 7.7% involves NAICS 323117 (Books Printing), including bound publications and reference manuals. Darlene’s expertise centers on print media logistics, color management, binding standards, and digital file preparation for commercial-grade output, making her a specialized practitioner in federal publishing procurement.
