Alexandra L Smith

Alexandra L. Smith serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to national security operations. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for high-precision instrumentation, diagnostic imaging systems, and industrial control equipment, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with DHS’s mission to enhance operational readiness and systems integrity. Her work directly supports the procurement of mission-critical technologies used in cybersecurity infrastructure, physical science research, and engineering systems validation. Smith maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including manufacturers of specialized measuring and control devices, professional equipment wholesalers, and diagnostic imaging service providers. She engages with both large-capacity contractors and niche suppliers capable of delivering highly technical, low-volume solutions, often requiring tailored performance specifications and rigorous quality assurance protocols. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical clarity, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor reliability over volume-driven sourcing. Her procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic categorization. While she does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, she remains compliant with all socioeconomic reporting requirements and actively evaluates small businesses on merit when they meet stringent technical criteria. Smith’s primary NAICS focus spans Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing, Instruments for Industrial Process Control, Diagnostic Imaging Centers, and Professional Equipment Wholesalers. She specializes in procuring advanced sensors, calibration systems, medical imaging hardware, and industrial automation components, demonstrating deep expertise in engineering-grade instrumentation and precision measurement technologies essential to DHS’s scientific and security missions.
