Honey M. Smalls

Honey M. Smalls serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA9401 377 Msg Pk under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions for advanced aerospace and defense systems. She manages the full lifecycle of contracts for high-precision instrumentation, secure communications infrastructure, electronic warfare support, and laboratory-grade analytical equipment, ensuring alignment with Air Force modernization priorities. Her expertise spans complex technical procurements requiring stringent compliance with defense acquisition regulations, including FAR and DFARS, and she routinely interfaces with engineering and operational stakeholders to translate mission needs into legally sound, performance-based solicitation requirements. Smalls maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including J STAR ENTERPRISES INC, LARON, LLC, FIVEBYFIVE, LLC, VISION DISTRIBUTORS LLC, and Boh Environmental, L.L.C., who provide specialized services in systems integration, technical support, and environmental compliance. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capabilities in niche defense markets, particularly those experienced in delivering ruggedized electronics, secure data transmission solutions, and mission-specific test and calibration services. Her procurement approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical responsiveness, and past performance validation. While the majority of her acquisitions—73.3%—are conducted without set-asides, Smalls demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 26.7% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages small business capabilities to enhance innovation and supply chain resilience without compromising mission readiness. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334310 (audio and video equipment manufacturing), 561210 (facilities support services), 611710 (educational support services), 811219 (other personal services), and 334413 (semiconductor manufacturing). This reflects her technical domain expertise in electronic systems, operational training support, and mission-critical hardware development for air force platforms.
