Conrad Baker

Conrad Baker serves as a Contracting Officer for the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, a critical component of the Department of Defense responsible for the lifecycle management of conventional ammunition and explosives. In this role, he oversees the acquisition of advanced communications, electronics, and information technology systems essential to sustaining combat-ready munitions capabilities. His procurement portfolio centers on modernizing warfighting infrastructure, ensuring supply chain resilience, and enabling secure, interoperable systems for land, air, and naval forces. He manages full lifecycle contracts—from requirements development and source selection to contract administration and closeout—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense-specific procurement policies. While specific contractor names are not publicly identifiable, Baker consistently engages with prime contractors specializing in radio and telecommunications equipment manufacturing, satellite communications, and custom software development. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense industrial base vendors with proven expertise in ruggedized electronics, secure data transmission, and mission-critical system integration. He maintains rigorous oversight of performance metrics and delivery timelines to ensure operational readiness and technical compliance across complex supply chains. Baker’s procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of his acquisitions awarded under full and open competition. This reflects the mission-critical nature of the systems procured, where technical capability, speed of delivery, and supply chain security take precedence over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally targeted, he adheres strictly to all applicable federal guidelines and may consider small business subcontractors where technically viable. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334220 (radio and wireless communications equipment) and 334290 (other communications equipment), with significant activity in satellite telecommunications and custom computer programming services. He specializes in acquiring secure, field-deployable communication systems, signal processing hardware, and integrated software solutions that support ammunition tracking, command and control, and explosive ordnance disposal operations. His technical expertise spans RF systems, embedded firmware, and secure data architectures critical to modern munitions logistics.
