Alma R. Baker

Alma R. Baker serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing complex procurement actions within the defense and aerospace supply chain. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting processes for critical components used in aircraft systems, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS regulations. She specializes in soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for high-precision mechanical and avionics components, often requiring technical specifications aligned with military standards. Her work directly supports national defense readiness by securing reliable, mission-critical parts from qualified industrial vendors. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Baker’s procurement patterns suggest consistent engagement with Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers specializing in aerospace-grade parts. Her contracting approach favors established industrial suppliers with proven quality control systems, including AS9100-certified firms, and she typically engages vendors through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15. Her working relationships reflect a focus on technical capability, supply chain resilience, and regulatory compliance over volume-based sourcing. Baker’s set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly dominated by non-set-aside acquisitions, with only 0.6% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This indicates a primary reliance on full and open competition, consistent with the technical complexity and industrial base requirements of her procurement domain. While she occasionally supports small business participation, her portfolio does not reflect a strong emphasis on socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. Her industry focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—accounting for over 73% of her activity. She also procures mechanical power transmission components, fasteners, and specialized electronic subsystems, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace manufacturing and precision mechanical systems. Her technical domain centers on airframe and engine ancillary components, requiring knowledge of material specifications, certification standards, and defense logistics requirements.
