John R. Baumert

John Baumert serves as a Contracting Officer at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center’s Glynco Procurement Office, where he manages mission-critical acquisitions that support the training, infrastructure, and operational readiness of federal law enforcement personnel. His portfolio encompasses a diverse range of procurements including facility modernization, specialized equipment, and administrative support services essential to sustaining high-fidelity training environments. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract awards with the agency’s strategic priorities in safety, technology integration, and workforce preparedness. Baumert maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including Diversified Fabricators & Erectors, Inc., Range Cleaners Inc., Builders Supply Inc., Reynolds-Warren Equipment Company, Inc., and Contender Boats Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on durable, mission-specific solutions—ranging from training range maintenance and facility construction to specialized transportation and logistical support. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical specificity, and long-term vendor performance, fostering collaborative relationships built on adherence to performance metrics and regulatory compliance. His contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of procurements remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and support economic opportunity within the defense and public safety supply chain. Baumert’s primary NAICS focus areas—541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), 485111 (Mixed Mode Transit Systems), and 337214 (Office Furniture Manufacturing)—reveal a unique blend of operational support and infrastructure modernization needs. He regularly procures consulting services for process optimization, transit systems for inter-facility mobility, and non-wood office furnishings designed for high-traffic, secure training environments, demonstrating deep expertise in integrating administrative, logistical, and physical infrastructure requirements within a federal law enforcement context.
