Maria Bailey

Maria Bailey supports the U.S. Government Publishing Office in executing mission-critical procurement activities essential to the production, distribution, and preservation of official federal publications. While her formal title is not listed, her role centers on managing acquisitions for secure, standardized printing and distribution systems that ensure public access to vital documents including Social Security cards, IRS materials, immigration forms, and Veterans Affairs certificates. She works within the agency’s stringent compliance framework to procure high-integrity, tamper-resistant materials and related services, aligning all acquisitions with federal standards for authenticity and long-term archival preservation. Her primary contractor relationships are anchored with Liberty Communications, Inc. and THE SMEAD MANUFACTURING COMPANY, both of which provide specialized printing, secure document production, and archival storage solutions. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in federal-grade document handling, secure logistics, and compliance with NIST and GSA standards. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on repeat performers with demonstrated reliability in meeting strict quality and delivery timelines. Maria Bailey’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, indicating a focus on technical capability and operational continuity over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, her selections consistently favor vendors with the technical capacity to meet the agency’s rigorous security and durability requirements, regardless of size or certification status. Her acquisitions span high-volume, high-security printing, specialized paper and ink procurement, binding and casing systems, and digital archiving infrastructure. Though NAICS data is unavailable, her domain expertise clearly lies in government document production, secure publishing systems, and materials science applications for federal records management, making her a key steward of the nation’s official information lifecycle.
