Paula M. Miller

Paula M. Miller serves as a Contract Specialist within the GSA/FSS Office of Supply Center – Office Equipment, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurements that sustain federal administrative operations. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for office supplies, printed materials, specialized manufacturing products, and temporary support services. She ensures compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s mission to enhance workforce productivity through reliable, cost-effective sourcing. Miller routinely handles task and delivery orders under GSA Schedule contracts, particularly those related to office equipment and supply chains, emphasizing efficiency and regulatory adherence. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available data, Miller maintains a robust network of vendors supplying standardized office commodities and value-added services. Her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with merchant wholesalers, converted paper product manufacturers, and temporary help agencies, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in quality, delivery reliability, and service responsiveness. She leverages GSA’s Multiple Award Schedules and other streamlined acquisition vehicles to reduce cycle times and improve market access for qualified suppliers. Miller demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 20% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Though the majority of her contracts remain open competition, she actively promotes small business inclusion through targeted solicitations and clear evaluation criteria that favor capable small vendors. Her approach supports broader socioeconomic goals without compromising operational needs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 424120 (stationery and office supplies wholesale), 322299 (converted paper products), 339940 (office supplies manufacturing), and 561320 (temporary help services). This technical domain expertise enables her to evaluate product specifications, compliance with federal standards, and supply chain resilience for high-volume, low-unit-cost items critical to daily federal operations.
