David Baker

David Baker serves as a Realty Specialist within the W076 Endist Ft Worth office of the Department of the Army, where he manages real property acquisitions and leasing activities critical to sustaining military infrastructure across the continental United States. His role centers on securing nonresidential facilities and marina assets to support installation operations, ensuring compliance with environmental, safety, and functional standards. Baker handles a portfolio of real estate contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, primarily focused on long-term leases and property management agreements that enable mission-critical facility operations. He works closely with installation planners and civil engineering teams to align real property solutions with strategic modernization goals for barracks, administrative buildings, and recreational infrastructure. Baker maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of established real estate and construction services contractors, including M.A. Mortenson Company, Federal Contracting Inc., and Cerris Builders, Inc. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with demonstrated expertise in federal facility leasing, property management, and adaptive reuse of institutional assets. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on experienced vendors capable of navigating complex federal real property regulations and delivering turnkey solutions for military occupancy needs. These relationships are characterized by repeat engagements and a focus on performance-based outcomes rather than transactional procurement. Baker’s procurement activity shows a 100% preference for unrestricted, non-set-aside contracts, indicating a focus on competitive, full-and-open acquisition strategies. There is no documented use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides in his portfolio, suggesting that his acquisitions prioritize facility-specific requirements and vendor capacity over socioeconomic targeting. This approach aligns with the agency’s emphasis on mission readiness and operational continuity over socioeconomic contracting objectives. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 531120 (Lessors of Nonresidential Buildings), accounting for 75% of his activity, with additional emphasis on NAICS 713930 (Marinas) for recreational and support infrastructure. He specializes in procuring leased facilities, ground leases, and long-term property management services, demonstrating deep expertise in federal real property law, lease negotiation, and facility operational integration.
