Holli Baker serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) while advancing mission-critical procurement objectives. Her portfolio primarily centers on construction services and educational facility support, with a strong emphasis on transparent, competitive contracting practices that align with agency goals and statutory requirements. She routinely handles sealed bid and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 14 and Part 15, ensuring rigorous evaluation of technical and cost proposals to achieve best-value outcomes. While specific contractor names are not available, Holli’s contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering commercial and institutional construction services as well as technical training infrastructure solutions. Her working relationships are characterized by a preference for open competition and a structured approach to vendor qualification, ensuring a level playing field for qualified bidders while maintaining accountability and performance standards throughout contract execution. Holli demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 40% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business eligibility and socioeconomic program utilization, consistently leveraging set-aside authorities to foster equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. She does not rely on other socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a focused preference for broad-based small business inclusion through total small business set-asides. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and NAICS 611519 (Other Technical and Trade Schools), reflecting expertise in facility construction, renovation, and educational infrastructure development. She procures services related to building design, site preparation, construction management, and vocational training facility upgrades, demonstrating specialized knowledge in the intersection of physical infrastructure and workforce development environments.
