Kileigh B. Smith

Kileigh B. Smith serves as a Contract Specialist at the Department of the Air Force’s FA2521 45 Cons Pk facility, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and technical systems essential to airfield and range operational readiness. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for precision instrumentation, environmental control systems, and integrated security and communications services. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring timely procurement of specialized equipment and facility services that sustain aerospace mission capabilities, applying FAR and DFARS compliance to complex technical requirements while maintaining rigorous oversight of contract performance and deliverables. Smith maintains established working relationships with a select group of specialized contractors, including Roberts Treescaping, LLC; Thoma-Sea Marine Constructors, L.L.C.; Cypress Solutions LLC; and Interconnect Wiring LLP. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche vendors with proven expertise in landscaping, marine construction, technical integration, and low-voltage wiring systems—sectors critical to facility sustainment and environmental compliance. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability, technical competency, and performance-based outcomes over transactional engagements. A strong advocate for socioeconomic contracting, Smith consistently prioritizes small business participation, with over 57% of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. HUBZone set-asides account for nearly 29% of her portfolio, underscoring her commitment to directing opportunities to qualified firms in historically underutilized economic zones. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to foster community resilience and workforce development through targeted small business engagement. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 314110 (Carpet and Rug Mills), supporting interior infrastructure upgrades, followed by 238910 (Site Preparation Contractors) and 561730 (Landscaping Services), which underpin facility grounds maintenance and environmental stewardship. This technical specialization demonstrates deep domain expertise in facility sustainment, where aesthetic, functional, and regulatory compliance objectives converge in mission-critical environments.
