Emma Baker

Emma Baker serves as a key procurement lead within the Federal Bureau of Investigation, supporting the agency’s mission to modernize forensic science and intelligence capabilities through advanced technical acquisitions. She manages the solicitation and award of contracts for high-precision analytical equipment, secure communications systems, and specialized surveillance technologies, ensuring alignment with the FBI’s strategic imperatives in law enforcement innovation. Her work spans the full lifecycle of procurement—from requirements definition and market research to contract execution and performance monitoring—focusing on mission-critical systems that enhance laboratory-grade forensic analysis and real-time intelligence operations. Baker maintains consistent partnerships with leading federal contractors including Accenture Federal Services, Booz Allen Hamilton, The MITRE Corporation, BL Harbert International, and ThunderCat Technology, LLC. These relationships reflect a preference for established defense and intelligence technology providers with proven expertise in secure systems integration, data analytics, and mission support services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical rigor, and compliance with federal cybersecurity and data integrity standards, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in mission alignment rather than transactional engagement. Baker’s procurement portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on accessing the broadest possible pool of technical capability, prioritizing mission readiness and operational efficacy over socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, all procurements adhere strictly to federal acquisition regulations and competitive fairness standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), driving acquisitions for advanced data analytics, cyber-enabled forensic tools, and AI-assisted intelligence platforms, supplemented by NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services) for secure laboratory and operational infrastructure support. She specializes in procuring classified and controlled technical systems requiring stringent compliance with DOJ and FBI security protocols.
