Geri L. Smith serves as a Contracting Officer within the Office of Management Services under the General Services Administration’s Office of Administrative Services, where she plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements that enhance federal administrative efficiency and operational resilience. She specializes in acquiring professional and technical services critical to streamlining management processes, strengthening environmental oversight, and improving logistics and compliance frameworks across civilian agencies. Her portfolio primarily consists of competitive solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on consulting and support services that align with the agency’s mission to optimize administrative operations through performance-based contracting and outcome-driven acquisition strategies. Smith’s contractor relationships are characterized by a broad and diverse vendor base, with no single contractor dominating her award portfolio. She engages with a wide range of firms—from large professional services providers to specialized small businesses—focusing on technical competency, past performance, and compliance with federal standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes open competition and merit-based selection, fostering transparent and accountable vendor partnerships across the professional services sector. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, including no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical merit and mission alignment over socioeconomic categorization, while still ensuring fair and equitable access for all qualified offerors. Smith’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), followed by 541614 (Process and Logistics Consulting) and 541620 (Environmental Consulting Services), with a notable emphasis on materials recovery and waste management solutions under 562920.
