Trevor Bentz

Trevor A. Bentz serves as a Printing Services Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition of commercial printing services to support government documentation, publications, and operational material needs. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering high-quality printed outputs that meet strict security, timing, and formatting requirements. His work is critical to the agency’s communication and recordkeeping missions, encompassing everything from official reports and forms to specialized binders and secure document production. Bentz typically handles sole-source and competitive solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, prioritizing efficiency, consistency, and adherence to federal printing standards. Bentz maintains collaborative relationships with a network of commercial printers and specialized graphic arts vendors capable of meeting federal specifications for paper stock, ink, binding, and secure handling. He works closely with vendors who demonstrate reliable production timelines, quality control certifications, and experience in handling classified or sensitive materials. His procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical capability, and adherence to federal printing guidelines over price alone, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors who consistently meet performance benchmarks. Bentz’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on maximizing vendor competition and leveraging market-wide capacity rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains fully compliant with all small business participation goals, ensuring eligible firms have equitable access to opportunities through open solicitations. His primary procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 323117, Books Printing, indicating deep specialization in the production of bound publications, multi-page reports, and long-run print runs. He routinely procures offset and digital printing services for government-issued manuals, policy documents, and educational materials, demonstrating expertise in pre-press workflows, color management, and print-on-demand logistics. His domain knowledge ensures that all printed outputs meet federal standards for durability, legibility, and archival quality.
