Jack Baker

Jack Baker serves as a Contract Administrator for FA3030 17 Cons Cc under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition and administration of facility infrastructure and support services critical to operational readiness. His portfolio centers on maintaining and modernizing mission-critical building systems—including HVAC, electrical, and plumbing infrastructure—as well as overseeing commercial and institutional construction, grounds maintenance, and specialized repair services. Baker ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s priorities of resilience, sustainability, and quality-of-life improvements for Air Force personnel. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors such as McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, Imperial Electrical Contracting, LLC, Duncan Mechanical Service, Inc., and Action Construction Austin LLC, partnering primarily with firms experienced in facility systems integration, mechanical services, and site development. These vendor relationships reflect a preference for proven, technically capable contractors with demonstrated capacity to deliver complex, multi-trade construction and maintenance projects under tight operational timelines. Baker’s contracting patterns show a strong emphasis on open competition, with 72.7% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, while 27.3% are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balance reflects a strategic approach that prioritizes competition while actively fostering small business participation across multiple socioeconomic categories, including SDBs and general small businesses, without reliance on specialized programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. His procurement focus is concentrated in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), and 333912 (Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in facility construction, environmental systems testing, and mechanical equipment procurement. He routinely acquires services related to building diagnostics, compressor system maintenance, and infrastructure upgrades, demonstrating technical fluency in both construction and facility engineering domains.
