Ana P. Baide

Ana P. Baide serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical services supporting federal operational requirements. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while executing competitive procurements that align with agency objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts, with a strong emphasis on performance-based contracting and task order management under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms. Baide’s work directly supports the agency’s mission to deliver efficient, transparent, and accountable public services through strategic sourcing and risk-managed contracting practices. Baide maintains a broad and diverse vendor base, engaging with both large service providers and small businesses across the facilities and security services sectors. While no single contractor dominates her award portfolio, she consistently fosters relationships with firms capable of delivering high-quality, scalable solutions in landscaping, security operations, and insurance services. Her contracting approach emphasizes fair and open competition, with a preference for full and open solicitations that encourage innovation and cost-effectiveness. She actively evaluates vendor performance metrics and compliance with contract terms to ensure sustained service excellence. Baide’s procurement patterns reflect a strong orientation toward non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a deliberate focus on maximizing market participation and leveraging broad industry capabilities rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While she does not prioritize set-asides, her process remains fully compliant with small business goals and supports socioeconomic objectives through inclusive solicitation practices that do not restrict competition. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 561730 for landscaping services and 561612 for security guard and patrol services, each representing 40% of her procurement activity, with 524113 for direct life insurance carriers accounting for the remaining 20%. She specializes in procuring integrated facility support services, including grounds maintenance, access control, and risk mitigation solutions, demonstrating deep expertise in operational services contracting within the federal domain.
