Rejeanne Smith serves as a Storekeeper at U.S. Coast Guard Base New Orleans (70Z029), responsible for the procurement, inventory management, and logistical coordination of critical supplies and maintenance materials essential to shore-based infrastructure operations. In this role, she supports the agency’s mission of sustaining maritime safety and environmental stewardship by ensuring timely access to facility maintenance components, safety equipment, and operational consumables. Her procurement activities center on direct acquisition and replenishment of standardized items governed by federal supply schedules and base-level stock control systems, aligning with the Coast Guard’s emphasis on operational readiness and resilience against coastal hazards. While specific contractor names are not available, Smith maintains consistent working relationships with a network of local and regional vendors specializing in facility support goods, including electrical components, plumbing supplies, HVAC parts, and safety gear. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for reliable, pre-vetted suppliers capable of rapid turnaround and compliance with federal logistics standards, often coordinating with base maintenance teams to anticipate demand and mitigate supply chain disruptions. Smith demonstrates a full commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5.

Her contracting patterns prioritize small businesses across all socioeconomic categories, with no preference for specific set-aside programs, indicating broad inclusivity in vendor selection. Her primary procurement focus falls under NAICS 561990 (All Other Support Services), encompassing a wide range of facility support services including janitorial, grounds maintenance, and minor repair contracts. She specializes in acquiring non-expendable and expendable items that sustain Coast Guard infrastructure, demonstrating deep familiarity with federal supply catalogs and inventory control protocols critical to mission continuity.
