Marisa Smith

Marisa Smith serves as a Procurement Technician at the W7NN Uspfo Activity NH ARNG, a Department of the Army unit responsible for sustaining Army National Guard readiness through logistical and operational support. In this role, she executes end-to-end acquisition processes for mission-critical services, primarily focused on temporary lodging and accommodations for annual training cycles and extended field operations. She supports the agency’s procurement mission by ensuring timely, compliant, and cost-effective contract awards aligned with DoD regulations and operational timelines, specializing in service-based acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. Smith maintains a consistent working relationship with QII SOLUTIONS LLC, the primary vendor for lodging and temporary housing services. Her procurement pattern reflects a long-term, repeat-contracting approach with this contractor, indicating a high level of trust and operational alignment. She engages primarily with established service providers capable of delivering scalable, secure, and compliant accommodations across diverse geographic locations, often requiring rapid mobilization and adherence to military standards. Her procurement activity shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for efficiency and scalability over targeted small business set-asides, prioritizing proven capacity and reliability in meeting urgent operational demands. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, all awards remain fully compliant with FAR requirements for fair and open competition. Smith’s expertise is concentrated in NAICS 721110—Hotels (except Casino Hotels) and Motels—where she procures temporary lodging, billeting, and related support services for military personnel during training deployments. Her domain knowledge includes contract requirements for security protocols, occupancy standards, and service-level agreements tailored to DoD operational needs, making her a key operator in sustaining troop welfare through reliable, mission-aligned accommodations.
