Alberta R. Smith

Alberta R. Smith serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, administrative support, and international affairs-related contracts, with a focus on delivering mission-critical capabilities through competitively awarded solicitations. Smith routinely handles both sealed bidding and negotiated procurements, emphasizing fair and open competition while maintaining rigorous oversight of contractor performance and contractual obligations. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Smith’s procurement patterns indicate a consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors across multiple service sectors. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in compliance, performance accountability, and responsiveness to agency needs, working with firms ranging from large service providers to small business concerns. Her approach reflects a balanced emphasis on market research, source selection transparency, and post-award contract management to ensure delivery of high-quality services. Smith demonstrates a strong preference for unrestricted competitions, with 77.8% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 22.2% of her contracts awarded as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her approach aligns with federal socioeconomic goals, prioritizing small business eligibility without favoring specific categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, thereby maintaining broad market access while encouraging small business growth. Her primary NAICS focus areas include All Other Business Support Services (561499), Public Relations Agencies (541820), International Affairs (928120), Couriers and Express Delivery Services (492110), and Other Information Services (519190). This reflects expertise in procuring administrative, communications, logistics, and international program support services, underscoring her technical proficiency in managing complex service-based acquisitions across diverse operational domains.
