The Baker Company, Inc.

The Baker Company, Inc., headquartered in Sanford, Maine, manufactures biosafety cabinets, laminar flow hoods, clean benches, pharmacy isolators, and specialized laboratory containment equipment, selling exclusively as a prime contractor (100% of recent awards) across federal civilian and defense agencies under the GSA Multiple Award Schedule and related federal supply schedules. The company is a for-profit small business with no SBA set-aside designations, though several individual awards carry total small business or partial small business set-aside tags; the vendor competes predominantly in full-and-open and set-aside categories without formal 8(a) or HUBZone certification.

The Baker Company's portfolio spans 792 recent prime awards with combined potential value of $200.6 million, concentrated in laboratory equipment and medical supplies (PSC codes 4410 and 6515 dominate, representing 457 and 177 awards respectively). Representative recent work includes a $82,502 delivery order from the Department of Agriculture's Agricultural Research Service for an aerobic and microaerophilic workstation (December 2024), a $99,985 purchase order from the National Institute on Aging for a hypoxia workstation with dual chambers and remote monitoring (September 2024), a $69,791 sole-source purchase order from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for a BioPROTECT e3 MAX Class II biological safety cabinet (July 2024), and a $121,266 delivery order from the Department of Veterans Affairs for Class II biosafety cabinet equipment (September 2023). A $30,222 order from Veterans Integrated Service Network 12 for laminar flow hoods at Jesse Brown VA Medical Center closed on June 15, 2026 under the GSA MAS vehicle.

Customer concentration is moderate and spread across health, research, and defense agencies. The top five customers by award count account for 18% of all awards: the Department of the Army Medical Command (34 awards, $615 thousand combined potential value), the Department of the Army (29 awards), the CDC Office of Acquisition Services (27 awards, $2.7 million), Veterans Integrated Service Network 10 (26 awards, $537 thousand), and the FDA (26 awards, $334 thousand). By dollars, the CDC leads at $2.7 million across 27 awards, followed by the Army Medical Command at $615 thousand and VISN 10 at $537 thousand. Dollar concentration is shallow—the top five customers represent only 2% of combined potential value across all 84 customer agencies—indicating high fragmentation and reliance on numerous small orders.

The Baker Company places nearly all work under GSA federal supply schedules: Federal Supply Schedule GS24F1002B anchors 287 task orders worth $3.6 million combined potential value, the Multiple Award Schedule carries 202 task orders worth $4.5 million, Federal Supply Schedule GS24F1001B holds 35 task orders worth $432 thousand, and GS07F0459Y accounts for 20 task orders at $288 thousand. These are commodity-focused vehicles that enable broad federal access to pre-negotiated pricing.

Activity has remained volatile year over year—19 awards in 2022, 14 in 2023, 20 in 2024, then 9 in 2025 and 1 in the first half of 2026. This compressed recent trajectory and shallow obligated value ($16.4 million obligated against $200.6 million potential, or 8%) reflect the nature of MAS ordering: numerous small delivery orders and purchase orders on the books with low near-term cash realization. Recompete exposure in the next twenty-four months is minimal—only 2 awards with ultimate completion dates in that window, combined potential value $41 thousand—suggesting stable schedule positioning without near-term IDV or BPA recompetes driving pursuit urgency.

The Baker Company operates as a sole manufacturer-distributor with no identified subcontract footprint in the source data; 100% of awards are primes. The vendor's product portfolio is tightly focused on laboratory containment and biosafety infrastructure—biosafety cabinets, laminar flow hoods, clean benches, pharmacy isolators, animal handling cabinets, and microaerophilic workstations—with no diversification into services, systems integration, or non-hardware offerings visible in the award record.
