Christine Smith

Christine Smith serves in a secondary role within her organization, providing support for the agency's procurement mission and acquisition activities. The agency's procurement patterns show a strong preference for full and open competitions, with the vast majority of awards designated as no set-aside. A small percentage of multiple award contracts are structured to allow up to two of the three awards to be set aside for small businesses. The agency's technical focus is heavily concentrated in advanced manufacturing and defense-related instrumentation. Primary procurement activity centers on the manufacturing of search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical systems, as well as aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment. Additional specialization is evident in the procurement of small arms and ordnance accessories, electronic components, and totalizing fluid meter and counting devices.
