Megan Baer

Megan Baer serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5682 organization, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support services essential to expeditionary air base readiness. Her portfolio centers on sustaining mission-critical facilities and communications systems, ensuring that global airpower projection remains enabled through timely, compliant, and efficient contracting. She routinely handles service-based acquisitions under full and open competition, with a focus on engineering, translation, and facility maintenance contracts that directly support Air Force operational tempo and base resilience initiatives. Baer maintains consistent working relationships with AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, L1 ENTERPRISES INCORPORATED, and LIVINGWORKS EDUCATION USA INC, each of which provides specialized technical and logistical support services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in tactical communications, personnel training, and facility sustainment, indicating a reliance on contractors who can deliver mission-critical services under austere conditions. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and performance-based contract structures that emphasize accountability and mission alignment. Notably, Baer’s procurement activity is entirely conducted under full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic prioritization of capability and readiness over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s urgent operational requirements where specialized expertise takes precedence over programmatic goals. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services), 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services), and 541330 (Engineering Services), underscoring a unique blend of technical, logistical, and human support needs. She procures specialized engineering solutions for airfield infrastructure, language services for deployed personnel, and facility maintenance contracts that sustain operational environments—demonstrating deep domain expertise in expeditionary base sustainment and force readiness support.
