Madeline Baumgartner

Madeline Baumgartner serves as a Contracting Officer within Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), a critical support agency of the Department of Defense. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for high-priority administrative and technical services that enable enterprise-wide DoD efficiency. Her portfolio centers on professional consulting services, including strategic management advisory, process optimization, and digital transformation initiatives. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning acquisitions with WHS’s mission to modernize institutional systems and enhance decision-making across defense components. Baumgartner maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of experienced contractors, including CLARITY INNOVATIONS LLC, CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, SIGNATURE RENOVATIONS LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and GUIDEHOUSE INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in defense-sector consulting, operational support, and systems modernization. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous evaluation criteria, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure mission continuity and service quality. Her procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on leveraging the broadest possible market capability to meet complex, enterprise-level requirements rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through designated programs, all vendors are evaluated on technical merit, past performance, and cost-effectiveness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), accounting for two-thirds of her activity, with additional emphasis on NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services). She routinely procures strategic planning, organizational development, financial management consulting, and IT modernization support services, demonstrating deep expertise in institutional transformation and defense enterprise optimization.
