Justine Smith

Justine Smith serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4418 628 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing construction and mission-enabling contracts that sustain operational readiness at Joint Base Charleston and associated installations. Her role centers on executing full lifecycle acquisition processes for facility infrastructure projects, ensuring compliance with DoD standards and Air Force engineering requirements. She routinely handles competitive solicitations for commercial and institutional building construction, utilities modernization, and base support services, aligning acquisitions with the unit’s strategic priorities of resilience, environmental compliance, and mission-critical infrastructure enhancement. Smith maintains consistent working relationships with a focused cohort of contractors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site development and building construction, PROTECT KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING, LLC for specialized environmental systems maintenance, ACCESS PORTABLE TOILETS INC for temporary sanitation solutions, and ML Armaments LLC for security-related facility upgrades. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche, mission-aligned vendors capable of delivering specialized services under tight operational timelines and stringent security protocols. Her procurement portfolio is exclusively awarded through 8(a) competed set-asides, demonstrating a robust and unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. By directing all construction-related opportunities to 8(a) certified small businesses, Smith actively supports the Department of Defense’s mandate to increase contracting access for disadvantaged entrepreneurs while maintaining high performance standards across critical infrastructure projects. Her technical expertise is narrowly concentrated in NAICS 236220—Commercial and Institutional Building Construction—where she oversees the full spectrum of facility development, from new construction and renovations to maintenance and utility system upgrades. This specialization underscores her deep familiarity with military construction codes, sustainable building practices, and the integration of security and resilience features into base infrastructure projects.
