Andrew D. McClearn

Andrew D. McClearn serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing federal acquisitions across hospitality, travel, and facility support services. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency operational readiness through timely and efficient contract execution. His portfolio primarily encompasses service-based contracts requiring precise performance standards, vendor accountability, and mission-aligned delivery. McClearn routinely handles requirements for temporary lodging, travel coordination, and cleaning services, ensuring that government personnel have access to reliable, cost-effective support infrastructure during official travel and station operations. McClearn maintains professional relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in travel agency services, hotel accommodations, and commercial janitorial operations. He engages with both large service providers and small businesses capable of delivering scalable, nationwide support. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, clear performance metrics, and contract administration rigor to ensure service quality and regulatory adherence. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently evaluates vendors based on past performance, capacity, and compliance with federal standards. McClearn’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic preference for maximizing market participation and leveraging broad vendor capabilities rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his process remains transparent and equitable, providing all qualified firms an equal opportunity to compete. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561510 (Travel Agencies), 721110 (Hotels and Motels), and 561720 (Janitorial Services), each representing one-third of his contract activity. He specializes in securing lodging for federal travelers, arranging itinerary and booking services, and maintaining clean, safe government facilities. His domain expertise centers on service delivery logistics, vendor performance monitoring, and ensuring compliance with the Federal Travel Regulation (FTR) and the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR).
