Sandra Smith

Sandra Smith serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s LOG-9 office (70Z084), responsible for managing life-cycle support contracts critical to maintaining shore-based and maritime operational readiness. She oversees the acquisition of facility services, environmental systems, and industrial equipment maintenance to ensure mission-critical infrastructure remains secure, functional, and compliant with federal standards. Her portfolio centers on non-automotive industrial maintenance and specialized building equipment installation, aligning directly with the Coast Guard’s need for resilient, mission-ready facilities across coastal and inland operational zones. Smith maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including GILMAN CORPORATION THE, FRONTLINE ENTERPRISES LLC, ISN ALLIANCE LLC, S3 SOLUTIONS ONE LLC, and FAZTEC INDUSTRIES INC. These vendors are frequently engaged for complex, performance-based services requiring technical expertise in industrial machinery repair, HVAC and electrical systems integration, and facility retrofitting. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships built on reliability, compliance with federal maintenance standards, and demonstrated capacity to operate in secure, high-sensitivity environments. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of her awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and the other half issued as open competitions. This dual strategy ensures robust small business participation while preserving flexibility for mission-critical needs requiring specialized capabilities. She actively prioritizes small business vendors capable of delivering technical services under performance work statements and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms. Smith’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors) and 811310 (Commercial and Industrial Machinery Repair and Maintenance), reflecting deep expertise in facility infrastructure sustainment and non-electronic industrial systems. She routinely procures services related to boiler systems, water treatment equipment, lighting controls, and preventive maintenance programs essential to Coast Guard operational continuity.
