Carlos M. Smiley serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in support of public health, scientific research, and technical services. While specific agency details are not disclosed, his role centers on executing full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations.

Smiley’s contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the vast majority of procurements conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on broad market engagement and value-driven sourcing.
