Allison Baker

Allison Baker serves as a contracting professional within the Administration Facilities Training Contracting Division of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, where she manages acquisitions critical to sustaining the operational infrastructure supporting border security missions. Her work centers on procuring facility maintenance, civil engineering, and specialized support services essential to the functionality and safety of border patrol facilities. She handles a diverse portfolio of contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance with federal standards while aligning procurement decisions with the agency’s strategic priorities of infrastructure modernization and operational resilience. Baker maintains collaborative relationships with a range of contractors specializing in heavy civil construction and industrial facility services. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she routinely engages both large-scale general contractors and niche service providers with expertise in facility upkeep, utility systems, and industrial laundering operations. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive solicitation, performance-based outcomes, and vendor accountability to ensure mission-critical services are delivered reliably and efficiently. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 75% of awards issued without set-aside designations. However, she consistently allocates 25% of opportunities to 8(a) certified small businesses, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic inclusion and small business development. This balance underscores her alignment with federal goals to foster equitable access while maintaining procurement integrity and mission readiness. Baker’s primary focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and NAICS 812332 (Industrial Launderers), reflecting her specialization in infrastructure rehabilitation and facility support services. She procures services including structural repairs, site grading, hazardous waste removal, and large-scale laundry operations for uniforms and gear, requiring deep technical understanding of facility lifecycle management and industrial hygiene standards. Her expertise ensures that CBP’s physical assets remain mission-ready and compliant with federal safety and environmental regulations.
