Sarah A Baer

Sarah A. Baer serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical supply chain objectives. Her portfolio primarily consists of industrial and manufacturing-related procurements, with a strong emphasis on technical goods requiring precise specifications and quality control. Baer routinely handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 15, ensuring transparency, fairness, and efficiency in every transaction. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Baer’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with manufacturers and suppliers capable of meeting stringent industrial standards. She works with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large-scale producers and small businesses, prioritizing capability, compliance, and delivery reliability over vendor size alone. Her contracting approach reflects a results-driven, risk-managed methodology, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability and regulatory adherence. Baer’s contracting activity shows a 100% preference for non-set-aside procurements, indicating a focus on full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. This reflects a strategic alignment with mission requirements that prioritize technical specifications and production capacity over socioeconomic criteria, though she remains fully compliant with all applicable small business participation goals under the Small Business Act. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 325510 (Paint and Coating Manufacturing), where she acquires specialized industrial coatings, finishes, and related chemical formulations. Secondary activity includes NAICS 325520 (Adhesive Manufacturing) and NAICS 332216 (Saw Blade and Handtool Manufacturing), demonstrating expertise in procuring high-performance industrial materials and precision tools. Baer’s technical domain knowledge spans chemical composition standards, durability testing protocols, and manufacturing quality assurance systems, making her a key liaison between technical end-users and qualified industrial suppliers.
