Mitchell I. Jarvis

Mitchell D. Jarvis serves as a Contracting Officer within the GSA/FSS Office of Supply Center – Office Equipment, where he plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical office supplies and specialized manufacturing products essential to federal administrative operations. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement, from requirements analysis and market research to contract award and administration, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and GSA’s mission to enable workforce productivity. He primarily manages acquisitions under the Federal Supply Schedule, focusing on standardized, high-volume office equipment components and related manufactured goods that support daily government operations across agencies. While specific contractor names are not available, Jarvis maintains consistent relationships with manufacturers and distributors specializing in plastics-based products and packaging solutions. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capacity to deliver compliant, scalable solutions under GSA’s streamlined procurement frameworks. He engages primarily with suppliers capable of meeting stringent federal quality and delivery standards, fostering long-term vendor partnerships that ensure continuity of supply for essential office materials. Jarvis’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with GSA’s mandate to maximize efficiency and value through broad market access, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not prioritized through targeted programs like 8(a) or HUBZone in his portfolio, his approach remains compliant with all applicable socioeconomic requirements and emphasizes competitive fairness. His technical expertise centers on NAICS 326111 (Plastics Bag and Pouch Manufacturing), which accounts for over 84% of his contracting activity, alongside closely related categories including plastics film, sheet, and general plastics product manufacturing. He specializes in procuring custom and standard plastic packaging, laminated materials, and resin-based components used in document handling, storage, and office logistics systems, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in industrial plastics manufacturing and its application to federal administrative needs.
