Lebert Smith

Lebert Smith Jr. serves as a Purchasing & Supply Management Specialist, responsible for managing the acquisition of commercial and industrial machinery and equipment repair and maintenance services. In this role, he ensures the efficient and compliant procurement of critical maintenance support functions that sustain operational readiness across federal facilities. His responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating technical proposals, conducting source selection, and administering contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. He plays a pivotal role in aligning procurement activities with agency mission objectives by securing reliable, cost-effective service providers capable of delivering preventive and corrective maintenance for non-automotive, non-electronic industrial systems. Smith’s contracting patterns reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-aside designations. This approach indicates a preference for broad market engagement, prioritizing technical capability, past performance, and price reasonableness over socioeconomic classifications. While he does not exclusively target 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms, his procurement process remains fully compliant with all applicable small business regulations, allowing qualified entities of all sizes to compete on equal footing. His procurement focus is singularly centered on NAICS code 811310, which encompasses the repair and maintenance of commercial and industrial machinery—including conveyors, pumps, compressors, and material handling systems. He routinely procures services related to mechanical overhaul, preventive maintenance scheduling, calibration, and on-site technical support from specialized service providers with demonstrated expertise in industrial equipment lifecycle management. His domain expertise lies in evaluating contractor capabilities to maintain complex, high-utilization machinery under demanding operational conditions, ensuring minimal downtime and sustained operational efficiency.
