Jeaninne Baumann

Jeaninne Baumann serves as a Contracting Officer for the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, where she is responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize naval warfighting systems. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for advanced sensor, communication, and tactical computing technologies, ensuring alignment with operational readiness goals and cyber-enabled decision support requirements. Her portfolio emphasizes integrated systems engineering solutions that enhance command and control architectures, with a focus on rapid prototyping and field-deployable capabilities for naval forces. Baumann maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Goldbelt Hawk L.L.C., Alex-Alternative Experts, LLC, Tnda Technologies Inc., BC Market Solutions LLC, and Biospace, Inc. These vendors provide niche expertise in defense electronics, mission-critical software integration, and tactical system sustainment. Her procurement approach favors established technical partners with proven experience in naval environments, fostering long-term collaborations built on technical reliability and compliance with defense standards such as MIL-STD and DoD IT security protocols. Baumann’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing mission need and system performance above all else. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through set-asides, her portfolio includes firms of varying sizes that demonstrate exceptional technical proficiency in high-stakes defense domains. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 334511—Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing—reflecting deep specialization in radar, sonar, electronic warfare, and precision navigation systems. She routinely procures hardened hardware, embedded firmware, and integrated sensor suites designed for maritime and expeditionary use, demonstrating expert command of defense-specific technical specifications and acquisition regulatory frameworks.
