Leigh Baumbaugh

Leigh Baumbaugh serves as a Contracts Manager responsible for overseeing the full lifecycle of acquisition programs centered on computer facilities management services. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning contract awards with operational needs and strategic objectives. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating proposals, conducting source selection, and managing contract performance to deliver mission-critical IT infrastructure support. Baumbaugh’s work is instrumental in enabling efficient, secure, and scalable facility operations through disciplined contracting practices and stakeholder collaboration across technical and administrative teams. Her contractor relationships are primarily with firms specializing in IT infrastructure management, data center operations, and systems maintenance services. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with a diverse pool of qualified contractors capable of delivering complex, performance-based services under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and fixed-price arrangements. Her approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and accountability through contract administration, fostering transparent and results-driven vendor partnerships. Baumbaugh’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This indicates a focus on selecting the most capable and cost-effective providers regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing technical proficiency and proven performance over designated program preferences. While she does not actively target 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her process remains compliant with all applicable socioeconomic regulations and promotes equitable access for all qualified offerors. Her primary technical focus is on NAICS 541513—Computer Facilities Management Services—encompassing data center operations, server room maintenance, environmental monitoring, power and cooling systems management, and IT asset lifecycle support. She specializes in procuring managed services that ensure continuous availability, cybersecurity resilience, and operational efficiency of mission-critical computing environments. Her expertise lies in translating technical requirements into enforceable contract deliverables that meet federal standards for reliability and scalability.
