Matthew J. Baumann

Matthew J. Baumann serves as a key procurement professional within the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Region 3, supporting mission-critical IT and professional services acquisitions for federal defense and civilian agencies. He plays a central role in advancing the agency’s digital transformation agenda by managing the acquisition lifecycle for enterprise computing infrastructure, cybersecurity-enabled systems, and customized software solutions. His work directly supports the modernization of legacy defense IT platforms and the deployment of secure, scalable cloud-based services essential to national security and public service operations. Baumann routinely handles complex, high-priority contracts under FAR Part 12 and Part 36, emphasizing performance-based acquisition methods and outcome-driven requirements. Baumann’s contracting activities involve close collaboration with a diverse range of IT service providers, including large systems integrators, specialized software developers, and engineering firms delivering end-to-end solutions. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available records, his procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with vendors capable of delivering secure, compliant, and scalable computing infrastructure, data processing, and systems design services. His working relationships are characterized by a focus on technical excellence, compliance with NIST and FISMA standards, and vendor responsiveness to evolving cybersecurity requirements. Baumann’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of acquisitions issued without set-asides. This indicates a strategic emphasis on maximizing competition among qualified vendors rather than leveraging socioeconomic programs, suggesting a focus on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his award patterns, he remains compliant with all federal small business goals and may engage qualified small businesses through unrestricted competitions. His primary technical focus lies in NAICS 518210 (computing infrastructure and data services), with significant activity in custom programming (541511) and systems design (541512), as well as engineering services (541330). He procures cloud-hosted platforms, secure data centers, bespoke software applications, and integrated IT systems that support mission continuity, cybersecurity resilience, and digital modernization across high-acuity federal programs.
