David T. Ward

David T. Ward serves as a Printing Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition of printed materials and related production services to support government operations. In this role, he ensures the timely and cost-effective procurement of official documents, publications, forms, and secure printing solutions aligned with federal standards for quality, security, and compliance. His work is integral to the agency’s mission of maintaining clear, accurate, and accessible communications, particularly for public-facing and administrative documentation. He typically handles solicitations under the General Services Administration’s printing and publishing programs, coordinating with internal stakeholders to define technical specifications, delivery schedules, and security requirements for classified and unclassified print projects. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Ward engages with a broad range of commercial printers, bindery services, and digital production vendors capable of meeting federal printing specifications, including secure handling protocols and environmental compliance standards. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, consistency, and adherence to federal printing guidelines, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate capacity for high-volume, low-error output and secure logistics. Ward’s contracting patterns show a strong preference for open, unrestricted competitions, with 100% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This reflects a focus on operational efficiency and broad market competition rather than socioeconomic targeting, though he remains compliant with all applicable small business participation requirements when applicable. His approach prioritizes capability and capacity over certification status, ensuring the best value through competitive bidding. His technical expertise centers on NAICS categories related to commercial printing, including digital and offset printing, binding, finishing, and document management services. He specializes in procuring secure, high-volume printed products such as forms, reports, manuals, and public information materials, with deep familiarity in compliance with FIPS, NIST, and GSA printing standards. His domain knowledge ensures that all acquisitions meet federal requirements for durability, legibility, and data security.
