About the company
Buy Smart, LLC, a minority-owned, veteran-owned, and self-certified small disadvantaged business based in San Diego, California, supplies office equipment, safety gear, IT materials, and consumable supplies to the Department of State and USAID as a prime contractor exclusively (100% of awards) through open competition—no set-aside designations across its footprint. The company is a sole proprietorship structured as a limited liability company with an active SAM registration since February 2016.
The vendor's customer base concentrates heavily within the Department of State, which accounts for 62% of recent awards by count and 65% by combined potential value. The top five bureaus—African Affairs (37 awards, $485 thousand), Overseas Building Operations (27 awards, $314 thousand), Western Hemisphere Affairs (21 awards, $317 thousand), East Asian and Pacific Affairs (10 awards, $94 thousand), and Diplomatic Security (8 awards, $65 thousand)—drive the footprint. These bureaus place recurring small orders for consumables, safety equipment, and operational supplies supporting diplomatic missions globally. USAID posts a secondary customer stream, with tasks including IT supplies ($55.9 thousand for Peru in September 2023) and hospitality-kit appliances ($11.8 thousand for South Sudan in November 2023).
Buy Smart's capability portfolio centers on category-based commodity supply across office supplies (23 awards), commercial hardware (9 awards), office furniture (6 awards), kitchen equipment and appliances (6 awards), and medical and surgical equipment (5 awards). Recent named work includes a $16.8 thousand safety-shoes purchase order for the Bureau of East Asian and Pacific Affairs (April 2026), a $13.6 thousand mobile-device accessories order for the Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs (August 2024), a $13.7 thousand safety-shoes order for the Bureau of African Affairs (March 2024), and a $13.9 thousand printing-paper supply for the Bureau of African Affairs (August 2023). All awards are firm-fixed-price purchase orders with individual ceilings in the $7 thousand to $56 thousand range.
Activity has declined over the past five years, from three awards annually in 2022 and 2023 to one award each in 2025 and 2026, though the vendor maintains 100% obligation rate on all $2 million in combined potential value across 165 total awards since 2016. The company operates exclusively as a prime contractor with no subcontract footprint. Buy Smart competes in full-and-open federal procurement without leveraging set-aside vehicles, despite holding minority-owned and SDVOSB certifications—a posture that exposes it to direct competition from larger general-supply vendors on State Department and USAID commodity orders.
