Riley Smith

Riley Smith serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350 unit, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that support infrastructure modernization and operational readiness. Their role centers on securing facility systems and services essential to sustaining Air Force installations, with a focus on integrating secure communication infrastructure, upgrading fire safety systems, and ensuring compliance with defense-grade environmental and safety standards. Smith routinely handles complex acquisitions under FAR Part 13 and Part 14 procedures, prioritizing performance-based contracting and lifecycle cost analysis to align procurements with long-term readiness objectives. Smith maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in facility modernization, technical systems integration, and industrial services. The contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established vendors with demonstrated capacity to deliver mission-aligned solutions under tight operational timelines, often involving coordination with installation engineers and safety compliance officers. A strong commitment to socioeconomic goals is evident in Smith’s procurement approach, with 87.5% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize opportunities for small businesses, particularly those certified under SBA programs, while maintaining rigorous performance standards. The consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a dedication to fostering a resilient, diverse supplier base aligned with Air Force sustainability and resilience mandates. Smith’s procurement portfolio is dominated by NAICS 337214 (Office Furniture Manufacturing), reflecting a high volume of acquisitions for defense-compliant, durable furnishings used in command and control environments. Secondary focus areas include industrial laundering (NAICS 812332), plumbing and HVAC contracting (NAICS 238220), and miscellaneous manufacturing (NAICS 339999), indicating a broad operational footprint requiring specialized, low-profile support services critical to daily facility function and personnel readiness.
