Justine Smith

SSgt Justine Smith serves as a contracting specialist within the FA4608 2 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain mission-critical infrastructure across Air Force installations. Her portfolio encompasses facility maintenance, environmental services, security systems, and communications support essential to operational readiness. She executes procurements under FAR Part 13 and Part 14 procedures, ensuring compliance with DoD and Air Force installation standards while prioritizing reliability, resilience, and continuity of services for both operational and quality-of-life facilities—from airfields and hangars to recreational and religious spaces. Smith maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of vendors including UNITED POOL MAINTENANCE LLC, WHITEDS ENVIRONMENTAL, INC., CALEB CRUCIAN, HALLIDAY TECHNOLOGIES INC, and ARABIC INTERPRETERS LLC. These partnerships reflect a balanced approach to sourcing specialized services: environmental remediation, facility operations, technical systems integration, and language support. Her contracting patterns favor established contractors with proven performance histories, often renewing engagements through task order extensions and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to ensure continuity and reduce transition risk. Her procurement strategy shows a strong preference for open competition, with 66.7% of awards issued without set-asides, while 33.3% are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate balance between leveraging broad market capability and actively promoting small business participation without mandating socioeconomic preferences such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB designations. Smith’s primary NAICS focus lies in 487210 (Scenic and Sightseeing Transportation, Water) and 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), indicating a unique operational emphasis on installation-level environmental logistics and water-based infrastructure support. Her expertise spans procurement of waste management systems, sanitation services, and related transportation logistics—domains critical to sustaining Air Force installations in remote or environmentally sensitive locations.
