Martin Smith

Martin Smith serves as a Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) responsible for ensuring contract performance and compliance across federal acquisition activities. In this role, he acts as the primary liaison between the agency and contractors, monitoring deliverables, evaluating contractor performance, and providing technical oversight to ensure alignment with solicitation requirements and federal regulations. His responsibilities include conducting site visits, reviewing invoices, documenting performance issues, and recommending contract modifications—all in support of mission-critical service delivery. Smith primarily handles service-based acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), with a focus on performance-based contracting and quality assurance surveillance plans. While specific contractor names are not available, Smith maintains consistent working relationships with a broad range of service providers, particularly those specializing in facility maintenance and custodial operations. His oversight emphasizes accountability, adherence to performance standards, and timely resolution of non-conformances. He collaborates closely with contracting officers to ensure that contractor deliverables meet established quality metrics and that corrective actions are implemented promptly when performance gaps arise. Smith demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic objectives, with an equal split between open competitions and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This balanced approach reflects a deliberate strategy to foster equitable access for small businesses while maintaining competitive rigor. He actively supports the inclusion of small business concerns in the procurement process, ensuring that set-aside requirements are properly applied and that small businesses have meaningful opportunities to compete for and fulfill federal contracts. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 561720—Janitorial Services—making him a specialist in facility support services. He oversees contracts for routine cleaning, waste management, disinfection protocols, and specialized sanitation services in government facilities. His technical expertise lies in defining performance-based work statements, establishing measurable outcomes, and ensuring compliance with environmental and safety standards in custodial operations.
