Edith Smith serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA5000 673 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, where she is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions to sustain critical military infrastructure and operational readiness. Her portfolio centers on facility services, environmental remediation, and specialized equipment acquisition, ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations and mission-driven outcomes. She executes acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), primarily focusing on construction support, maintenance logistics, and institutional equipment procurement to enable Air Force base operations across the continental United States and overseas installations. Smith maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of prime contractors including GIGABITER LLC, VINDICATOR TECHNOLOGIES, INC., YUKON EQUIPMENT, INC., and GLOBAL FINISHING SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships are characterized by long-term performance reliability and technical proficiency in facility services, equipment installation, and logistics support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contract administration to ensure compliance and mission alignment. A defining feature of Smith’s contracting strategy is her exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, reflecting a steadfast commitment to socioeconomic program goals. All her acquisitions are reserved for small businesses, fostering opportunities for small disadvantaged, HUBZone, and women-owned firms to compete for mission-critical contracts without competition from large businesses. Her procurement activity is narrowly focused on NAICS code 484210 (Used Household and Office Goods Moving), indicating a specialized domain in relocation, transportation, and logistics services for military installations. This includes the secure movement of sensitive equipment, furniture, and institutional assets across bases, requiring precise coordination, compliance with DoD transportation standards, and adherence to security protocols for classified materials. Smith’s expertise lies in managing complex, high-integrity logistics contracts that support facility transitions and operational continuity.
