Jeremiah D. Baker

Jeremy Baker serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of investigation and personal background check services across federal programs. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical security and vetting capabilities to support national integrity and public trust. His portfolio centers on full lifecycle contract management—from solicitation and source selection to award administration and performance oversight—typically involving complex service-based requirements that demand rigorous background screening, fingerprinting, and records verification protocols. Baker’s work directly supports law enforcement, personnel security, and federal workforce readiness initiatives. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Baker consistently engages with a broad spectrum of qualified vendors specializing in investigative services, including firms certified in security operations, forensic data analysis, and personnel vetting systems. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and adherence to federal standards such as those outlined in the Office of Management and Budget’s Circular A-129 and the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s guidelines for background investigations. Baker’s contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic designation, prioritizing capability, past performance, and compliance over set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His approach aligns with mission-critical requirements where technical expertise and operational reliability outweigh socioeconomic targeting criteria. His primary procurement focus is exclusively on NAICS 561611—Investigation and Personal Background Check Services—demonstrating deep technical expertise in security clearance support, fingerprint-based identity verification, and federal investigative protocols. He routinely procures services related to Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 5 background investigations, including continuous vetting, records checks, and interview-based assessments, making him a key liaison for agencies requiring high-integrity personnel screening capabilities.
