Marilyn Bauer-Pitts

Marilyn Bauer-Pitts serves as a Purchasing Analyst responsible for executing and administering procurement activities aligned with federal acquisition regulations. In this role, she supports the agency’s mission by ensuring timely, compliant, and cost-effective acquisition of postal services and related logistics solutions. Her responsibilities include preparing solicitation documents, evaluating vendor proposals, conducting market research, and managing contract modifications—all while maintaining strict adherence to FAR guidelines. She primarily handles non-personal services contracts for mail processing, transportation, and postal infrastructure support, often coordinating with internal stakeholders to align procurement strategy with operational needs. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the dataset, Bauer-Pitts engages with a broad spectrum of vendors qualified to deliver postal service solutions, including large-scale carriers, logistics providers, and technology vendors supporting automated mail sorting and delivery systems. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for open competition under full and fair opportunity principles, with no identified reliance on any single vendor or preferred supplier network. Bauer-Pitts consistently prioritizes open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions designated as “No Set-Aside,” indicating a procurement approach focused on technical merit and price competitiveness rather than socioeconomic preferences. This reflects a deliberate alignment with agency mandates that require broad vendor participation without targeted set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other small business categories. Her procurement expertise is concentrated exclusively in NAICS 491110—Postal Service—where she specializes in acquiring mail handling systems, transportation services, sorting equipment, and operational support contracts. She possesses deep domain knowledge of U.S. Postal Service standards, delivery network logistics, and federal mail infrastructure requirements, ensuring acquisitions meet both regulatory and operational benchmarks for national postal delivery.
