Marian J. Notarfrancesco

Marian J. Notarfrancesco serves as a Contract Specialist within the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service, specifically in the Assisted Contracting Branch A under the QSCBC division. She plays a pivotal role in executing full-cycle procurement for institutional and office furniture systems critical to federal workspace modernization initiatives. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating technical and cost proposals, negotiating contract terms, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations for durable, code-compliant furnishings such as modular seating, storage units, and partition systems. She supports the agency’s mission to deliver functional, ergonomic, and sustainable furniture solutions across federal facilities, ensuring acquisitions align with GSA’s strategic goals for operational readiness and workplace efficiency. Notarfrancesco works closely with a broad network of manufacturers and distributors specializing in commercial-grade office furniture systems, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors who meet stringent federal durability, safety, and environmental standards. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established suppliers with proven track records in delivering large-scale, standardized furniture solutions under GSA schedules and blanket purchase agreements. She maintains a vendor ecosystem focused on quality assurance, timely delivery, and post-award performance management, ensuring consistent service levels across federal client agencies. Her procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with GSA’s mission to maximize efficiency and value through broad market access, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she ensures all vendors—regardless of size—are evaluated on technical merit, compliance, and lifecycle cost performance. Her primary industry focus is NAICS 337214, Office Furniture (except Wood) Manufacturing, where she specializes in procuring metal, laminate, and composite-based furniture systems designed for high-traffic federal environments. She possesses deep technical expertise in furniture specifications, material certifications, and ANSI/BIFMA standards, ensuring all acquisitions meet federal workplace safety, accessibility, and sustainability requirements.
