Sarah Baker

Sarah Baker serves as a Contract Specialist with the W2SD Endist Baltimore under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions to support critical infrastructure and facility operations across military and federal properties. Her primary focus is on janitorial and facility services contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to maintain operational readiness through high-performance environmental and custodial services. She handles competitive solicitation processes, contract award administration, and post-award oversight for service-based acquisitions, emphasizing efficiency, accountability, and mission alignment. Sarah maintains longstanding relationships with a core group of contractors including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, MATTHEWS GROUP INC, CURTIN MARITIME CORP, and CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, vertically integrated service providers capable of delivering comprehensive facility support, including specialized cleaning, waste management, and environmental maintenance across complex military installations. Her working relationships are characterized by consistent engagement, transparent communication, and collaborative problem-solving to meet evolving operational demands. A defining feature of Sarah’s procurement approach is her exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, ensuring that 100% of her acquisitions are reserved for small business concerns. This unwavering commitment fosters economic opportunity and strengthens the small business ecosystem within the defense support sector, with particular emphasis on firms certified under HUBZone, 8(a), and other socioeconomic programs. Her contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business participation as a strategic imperative, not merely a compliance requirement. Her technical expertise centers on NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), where she specializes in procuring custodial, sanitation, and facility maintenance services tailored to high-security, high-traffic military environments. She ensures contractor compliance with federal health, safety, and environmental standards, demonstrating deep domain knowledge in institutional cleaning protocols, hazardous material handling, and facility lifecycle support.
