Tanya Baldwin serves as a Contract Specialist within the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA), where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support the integrity of the national defense industrial base. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract management—from requirements definition and market research to solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and DCSA’s strategic objectives. She primarily handles professional services contracts focused on administrative management and general management consulting, enabling the modernization of personnel vetting systems, cybersecurity protocols, and infrastructure protection initiatives critical to national security. Baldwin maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including SWISH DATA CORPORATION, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, SPATHE SYSTEMS LLC, ROCKWOOD COMPANY LLC, and IDEMIA IDENTITY & SECURITY USA LLC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term, performance-based engagements centered on process optimization, systems integration, and secure identity management solutions. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical proficiency, and alignment with DCSA’s mission to safeguard classified information and cleared personnel. Her contracting portfolio reflects a strict focus on full and open competition, with no set-asides utilized in recent acquisitions. This indicates a deliberate preference for selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing mission effectiveness over socioeconomic program targeting. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all awards are awarded under competitive procedures in accordance with FAR Part 6. Baldwin’s primary procurement focus is NAICS 541611—Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services—reflecting her specialization in procuring strategic advisory, workflow modernization, and operational efficiency services. She routinely acquires solutions that enhance background investigation systems, digital credentialing platforms, and security compliance frameworks, demonstrating deep expertise in the intersection of national security policy and enterprise management consulting.
