Stasia Baker

Stasia Baker serves as a secondary contracting professional within the Commander (M00264) under the Department of the Navy, supporting the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize naval warfighting capabilities. She contributes to the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical systems, particularly in command and control architectures, tactical computing environments, and sensor integration platforms. Her work centers on technical procurements requiring systems engineering expertise, with a focus on cyber-enabled decision support, secure communications, and armored vehicle technologies. While not the lead contracting officer, she plays a vital role in coordinating contract execution, ensuring alignment with operational readiness goals and technical specifications for advanced naval systems. Baker maintains consistent procurement relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Goldbelt Hawk L.L.C., Alex-Alternative Experts, LLC, Tnda Technologies Inc., BC Market Solutions LLC, and Biospace, Inc. These vendors provide niche capabilities in defense electronics, systems integration, and mission support services, often delivering tailored solutions for complex naval environments. Her working patterns reflect a preference for established, technically proficient firms with proven track records in delivering high-assurance systems under stringent military standards, suggesting a reliance on trusted partners with deep domain expertise rather than broad-based vendor pools. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 87.2% of awards issued without socioeconomic restrictions, reflecting a priority for technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. However, she supports a modest but consistent 12.8% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance requirements. Baker’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334511 for search, detection, and navigation systems, followed by 517919 for other telecommunications services and 332994 for ordnance accessories. She regularly acquires advanced avionics, tactical computing hardware, signal processing equipment, and integrated weapon system components, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with naval sensor, communication, and weapons platform modernization efforts.
