Sakiena Smith

Sakiena Smith serves as a procurement professional within the FA8903 organization of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize critical Air Force infrastructure. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure installation resilience, environmental compliance, and mission-critical facility readiness by overseeing the acquisition of engineering, environmental remediation, and civil construction services. She primarily handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on large-scale public works projects that align with DoD infrastructure modernization priorities. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with long-term base sustainment plans and federal environmental mandates. Smith’s contracting activities are conducted with a broad, open competition model, as all awards are issued under the “No Set-Aside” classification, reflecting a preference for full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides. This approach prioritizes technical capability, past performance, and cost-effectiveness over socioeconomic categorization, enabling the agency to access the broadest possible pool of qualified contractors for complex infrastructure projects. Her procurement focus is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 237310 — Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction — indicating deep expertise in civil infrastructure development, earthwork, pavement systems, drainage, and related geotechnical services. She procures turnkey construction solutions for airfield access roads, perimeter fencing, stormwater management systems, and other mission-supporting transportation and civil works projects essential to Air Force operational readiness. Her technical domain requires close coordination with environmental engineers, geotechnical consultants, and construction managers to ensure compliance with EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers standards. Smith collaborates with a diverse range of prime contractors, including large civil engineering firms and experienced general contractors with demonstrated capability in federal infrastructure delivery. Her working relationships are built on performance-based contracting, rigorous quality assurance protocols, and strict adherence to federal construction codes and safety regulations.
