Andrew Smith

Andrew Smith serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4800 633 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and operational support services essential to Air Force installation readiness. His responsibilities include managing complex contracts for technical systems, facility sustainment, and mission-enabling services, with a focus on modernizing communications, computing, and cybersecurity infrastructure. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Air Force’s strategic priorities for resilience, interoperability, and base modernization. His portfolio spans both hardware procurement and support services, requiring deep familiarity with defense acquisition lifecycle processes and technical specification development. Smith maintains consistent working relationships with IMAGE BUSINESS INTERIORS LLC and NEXTGRADE INC, primarily for facility-related services and IT infrastructure support. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engaging specialized vendors with proven capabilities in facility modernization, technical maintenance, and mission-critical system integration. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging firm-fixed-price and service-level-agreement structures to ensure accountability and operational continuity across geographically dispersed installations. His procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with 37.5% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small businesses. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, his consistent use of small business set-asides reflects a structured effort to enhance vendor diversity and foster innovation through non-traditional defense contractors. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 334118 for computer peripheral equipment, with significant activity in 493190 for warehousing and storage, and 561421 for telephone answering services.
