Evelyn M. Bauer

Evelyn M. Bauer serves as a Contracting Officer within the U.S. Transportation Command (USTransCom), responsible for managing complex logistics and mobility contracts that enable global DoD operational readiness. She oversees the acquisition of critical transportation and support services across air, sea, land, and rail domains, ensuring timely deployment and sustainment of military forces worldwide. Her portfolio centers on expeditionary logistics, port and terminal operations, and rapid-response mobility solutions, aligning with USTransCom’s mission to maintain strategic airlift and sealift capabilities. Bauer executes full lifecycle contracting actions, including solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration, with a focus on mission-critical, time-sensitive procurements that support theater access and force projection. Bauer maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including UNCOMN LLC, PHOENIX AIR GROUP, INC., RAMPART AVIATION, LLC, FANCIULLI EGISTO S.R.L., and MOUNTAIN AVIATION, LLC, all of which provide specialized aviation, cargo, and expeditionary logistics services. These partnerships are characterized by recurring engagements in support of dynamic operational requirements, often involving sole-source or limited competition actions under exigent circumstances. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, performance history, and operational compatibility with USTransCom’s global mobility infrastructure. Bauer’s contracting activity reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a focus on mission-critical urgency and broad competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her portfolio prioritizes capability, capacity, and readiness over socioeconomic criteria, ensuring the most qualified vendors are selected to meet time-sensitive operational demands. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 481111 (Scheduled Passenger Air Transportation) and NAICS 519130 (Other Information Services), with additional activity in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services). She routinely acquires air transportation, mission-critical data systems, and real-time logistics coordination platforms, demonstrating deep expertise in aviation logistics, command and control systems, and expeditionary IT infrastructure.
