Marion Buntyn

Marion Buntyn serves as a Recycling Specialist within the PBS R8 Acquisition Management Division of the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in procuring waste management and solid waste collection services essential to the operational integrity of federal facilities nationwide. Her responsibilities include developing, evaluating, and administering contracts aligned with federal sustainability mandates, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations and efficient lifecycle management of municipal solid waste. Buntyn’s acquisitions directly support the agency’s mission to maintain safe, functional, and environmentally responsible federal infrastructure through integrated facility services. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors specializing in solid waste handling, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in curbside collection, transfer station operations, and site-specific waste logistics for federal properties. Buntyn’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, reliability, and adherence to federal environmental standards, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in compliance and service quality. Buntyn’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside contracting strategy, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through set-aside mechanisms, her evaluations remain grounded in technical capability, past performance, and cost-effectiveness, ensuring value-driven outcomes without socioeconomic preferences. Her primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), encompassing the acquisition of waste collection, transportation, and disposal services for federal buildings and land ports of entry. Buntyn’s technical expertise lies in managing contracts for municipal-scale waste operations, including recycling stream segregation, hazardous waste coordination, and compliance with EPA and DOT regulations, making her a key steward of federal environmental procurement standards.
