Lonnie R Cummings

Lonnie R. Cummings serves as a Contracting Officer within the GSA/FSS Office of Supply Center – Office Equipment, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support federal administrative operations. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, he ensures the timely delivery of office supplies, printed materials, specialized manufacturing components, and training services essential to sustaining government workforce productivity. His portfolio encompasses a diverse range of commercial and industrial products, primarily sourced through Federal Supply Schedule (FSS) and other simplified acquisition authorities, with a strong emphasis on compliance with FAR regulations and strategic sourcing objectives. Cummings maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including manufacturers of plastics packaging, electronic components, and miscellaneous industrial goods, as well as providers of institutional building construction services. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, he consistently engages with both large-capacity suppliers and small business entities, fostering competitive, transparent procurement environments that align with GSA’s efficiency and accountability mandates. His working relationships reflect a preference for established FSS holders and certified small businesses, emphasizing reliability, scalability, and regulatory adherence. His contracting patterns reveal a clear socioeconomic focus, with approximately 70% of acquisitions conducted as non-set-aside actions, while actively supporting small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (11.1%), 8(a) competed awards (7.4%), HUBZone set-asides (7.4%), and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides (3.7%). This balanced approach underscores his commitment to equitable access and socioeconomic goals under FAR Part 19. Cummings specializes in procurements governed by NAICS codes 326111 (plastics bag and pouch manufacturing), 339999 (miscellaneous manufacturing), and 236220 (commercial building construction), reflecting expertise in industrial packaging, custom components, and facility-related supplies. His technical domain encompasses the acquisition of specialized manufacturing outputs and infrastructure-supporting goods, ensuring federal agencies receive compliant, high-quality products aligned with operational needs.
