Brooke Baker

Brooke Baker serves as a Contracting Officer for DISA/DITCO Europe, responsible for procuring critical communications infrastructure to support U.S. military operations across Europe and Southwest Asia. In this role, she manages the acquisition of secure, high-capacity telecommunications services and enabling technologies that ensure resilient, low-latency data transport for tactical and strategic defense networks. Her portfolio centers on commercial telecommunications solutions, encrypted data transport systems, and network enablement services aligned with the Defense Information Systems Agency’s mission to sustain global information superiority. She routinely handles complex, mission-critical contracts under FAR and DFARS frameworks, ensuring compliance with cybersecurity and interoperability standards for defense-grade communications. Brooke maintains established relationships with a diverse set of global telecommunications providers, including L1 Enterprises Incorporated, British Telecommunications Public Limited Company, Vodafone Enterprise Germany GmbH, Liberty Communications, Inc., and QualityNet General Trading and Contracting Company WLL. These partnerships reflect a preference for established commercial vendors capable of delivering scalable, secure, and theater-adapted connectivity solutions. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, global service delivery, and adherence to DoD security requirements, often resulting in long-term, performance-based agreements with vendors possessing proven operational experience in theater environments. Her procurement patterns show a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 88.9% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on mission urgency and vendor capability over socioeconomic preferences. While only 11.1% of awards are designated as total small business set-asides, she maintains compliance with FAR 19.5 and actively considers qualified small businesses when their technical capabilities align with operational needs. Brooke’s primary NAICS focus includes 517919 (Other Telecommunications), 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), and 334290 (Other Communications Equipment Manufacturing), reflecting her specialization in secure network infrastructure, managed services, and specialized communications hardware. She procures encrypted routers, satellite-enabled transport systems, and software-defined networking solutions critical to sustaining DoD’s global information architecture. Her expertise lies at the intersection of commercial telecom innovation and military operational requirements.
