Paige A. Farkas

Paige A. Farkas serves as a Purchasing and Supply Management Specialist, responsible for executing end-to-end acquisition processes to support operational needs through efficient, compliant, and strategic sourcing. Her role centers on managing competitive procurements for specialized printing and packaging equipment and materials, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition regulations and agency supply chain objectives. She handles a diverse portfolio of contracts, primarily for commercial printing services, converted paper products, and packaging machinery, often coordinating with internal stakeholders to define technical requirements, evaluate vendor proposals, and administer contract performance. While no specific contractor relationships are identified in available data, Farkas engages with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in industrial printing technologies, paper product conversion, and automated packaging systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear solicitation language, and performance-based outcomes, fostering transparent and accountable vendor partnerships across the supply chain. She prioritizes technical capability, quality assurance, and delivery reliability in vendor selection, maintaining rigorous oversight throughout the contract lifecycle. Farkas’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open, non-set-aside procurements, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under standard full and open competition. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors based on technical merit and value, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach remains compliant with all applicable small business policies, ensuring equitable access while maintaining procurement integrity. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 323111 (commercial printing), 322299 (converted paper products), 322220 (paper bag and coated paper manufacturing), and 333993 (packaging machinery). She specializes in acquiring high-volume printed materials, specialty packaging solutions, and automated production equipment, demonstrating deep familiarity with industrial manufacturing processes and supply chain logistics for paper-based and packaging systems.
