Amy L. Clever

Amy L. Clever serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-ri office of the Department of the Army, supporting the sustainment and modernization of the Army’s industrial base for munitions, precision components, and battlefield support systems. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on ordnance production, machine tooling, fabricated metal products, and critical maintenance services essential to weapons systems readiness. Her work directly enables lifecycle support for field equipment and ammunition manufacturing infrastructure, aligning with the agency’s strategic mission to ensure operational readiness through reliable, mission-critical supply chain solutions. Clever maintains consistent relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including AMD International Technologies LLC, Faxon Machining, LLC, Palantir USG Inc., and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, each providing high-precision manufacturing, software-enabled logistics, and defense-grade fabrication services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industry partners with proven technical capabilities in defense-grade production, while maintaining flexibility to integrate emerging technology providers. These partnerships are typically structured through competitive sealed bids and performance-based contracts designed to ensure quality, timeliness, and compliance with military specifications. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 75% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions, reflecting a focus on technical merit and industrial capacity. However, she consistently allocates 25% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical requirements. Clever’s primary acquisition focus lies in NAICS 334220 (radio and wireless communications equipment), 326122 (plastics pipe and fitting manufacturing), and 541519 (other computer-related services), indicating deep expertise in electronic subsystems, specialized polymer components for munitions handling, and mission-critical software integration. Her technical domain spans defense manufacturing, embedded systems, and industrial automation, supporting both legacy and next-generation Army platforms.
