Maria S Viscione

Maria S. Viscione serves as Team Leader and Contracting Officer within the GSA/FSS Office of Supply Center – Office Equipment, where she leads the acquisition of mission-critical office supplies, printed materials, and specialized manufacturing products essential to federal administrative operations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring alignment with FAR guidelines and GSA’s mandate to deliver efficient, cost-effective solutions across the federal workforce. Her portfolio primarily encompasses commercial off-the-shelf items and customized manufacturing outputs, with a strong emphasis on sustaining day-to-day operational readiness through reliable supply chain execution. Viscione cultivates strategic partnerships with a diverse base of vendors, including small businesses and established manufacturers specializing in paper, plastic, and wood-based products. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with firms capable of meeting federal specifications for durability, compliance, and scalability. Her contracting approach prioritizes competitive solicitation methods, fostering an environment of transparency and vendor innovation while ensuring adherence to GSA’s Federal Supply Schedule frameworks and delivery order protocols. Her procurement patterns reflect a robust commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with over 36% of her actions designated for small business set-asides, including 30.4% under Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5) and 6.5% competitively awarded to 8(a) participants. This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to expand market access for disadvantaged and small businesses while maintaining operational efficiency. She actively leverages GSA’s socioeconomic programs to promote supplier diversity without compromising acquisition integrity. Viscione’s technical expertise centers on NAICS categories 326199 (plastics products), 322211 (corrugated boxes), 322299 (converted paper products), and 339999 (miscellaneous manufacturing), reflecting a deep specialization in packaging, containment, and office supply components. She routinely procures custom-engineered items requiring precise material specifications, print finishes, and compliance with federal environmental and safety standards, positioning her at the nexus of industrial manufacturing and public sector procurement.
