Roberta H Smith

Roberta H. Smith serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 office (70Z084), responsible for managing life-cycle support contracts critical to shore-based and maritime operational readiness. She oversees the acquisition of essential facilities, environmental, and logistical services that sustain Coast Guard personnel, infrastructure, and mission-critical operations across coastal and inland waterways. Her portfolio emphasizes service-based contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on maintaining habitable, secure, and environmentally compliant facilities. Smith routinely handles complex, multi-year task orders requiring technical oversight and performance-based management, ensuring alignment with Coast Guard standards for safety, resilience, and regulatory compliance. She maintains established relationships with a core group of contractors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC, and VMX INTERNATIONAL LLC, who consistently deliver facilities support, waste management, pest control, and navigational services. Her contracting approach favors repeat engagements with proven performers, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance metrics and compliance with quality assurance protocols. These relationships reflect a preference for contractors with demonstrated expertise in federal environmental and infrastructure service delivery. Smith’s contracting activity shows a strong orientation toward open competition, with 72.2% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. However, she actively supports small business participation, allocating 16.7% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 11.1% to 8(a) competed contracts, reflecting a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising operational needs. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), followed by solid waste collection (562111), pest control (561710), navigational services (488330), and custom resin compounding (325991). This reflects deep expertise in sustaining Coast Guard infrastructure through integrated environmental, maintenance, and specialized industrial services essential to mission continuity.
