Riley Smith

Riley Smith serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350 office, overseeing mission-critical infrastructure modernization and operational readiness initiatives. Responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and upgrade facility systems across Air Force installations, Smith specializes in contracting for fire safety enhancements, electrical infrastructure upgrades, and integrated security and communication systems. Their work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to maintain resilient, secure, and technologically advanced defense environments, with a focus on lifecycle maintenance and compliance with DoD facility standards. Smith maintains consistent partnerships with a core 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 relationships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in facility systems integration, electrical installation, and physical security services. Procurement patterns indicate a reliance on established contractors with demonstrated capability in complex, multi-disciplinary projects requiring coordination between civil engineering, cybersecurity, and infrastructure maintenance domains. A strong commitment to small business participation is evident in Smith’s contracting approach, with 60% of acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition and capability development among small firms, particularly those with specialized technical credentials in facility maintenance and security systems. The remaining 40% of procurements are open to all competitors, ensuring flexibility for mission-essential requirements that demand specialized scale or niche expertise. Smith’s procurement portfolio is heavily concentrated in NAICS 811310 (commercial and industrial machinery repair and maintenance), 238210 (electrical contracting), 561621 (security systems services), and 541380 (testing laboratories). These reflect deep technical expertise in facility systems lifecycle management, including preventive maintenance, electrical system compliance, intrusion detection, and third-party testing of safety-critical infrastructure components.
