Bekki e. Clark

Bekki E. Clark serves as a Purchasing Agent at the U.S. Coast Guard’s Aviation Logistics Center (ALC), where she plays a critical role in sustaining the operational readiness of the Coast Guard’s rotary- and fixed-wing aircraft fleet. She manages the end-to-end procurement lifecycle for mission-critical aviation components, including avionics, structural parts, and auxiliary systems essential to the maintenance and modernization of legacy platforms such as the MH-65E Dauphin and HC-144 Ocean Sentry. Her acquisitions directly support the ALC’s mandate to extend service life, ensure airworthiness, and enable rapid response to fleet sustainment demands through timely and compliant sourcing. Clark maintains established relationships with key industry partners including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, and AVIATRIX INC, reflecting a consistent reliance on Tier 1 aerospace and defense suppliers with deep expertise in military-grade avionics and aircraft subsystems. She also engages specialized logistics providers such as GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC, to support just-in-time parts distribution and depot-level maintenance support. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and long-term sustainment partnerships with vendors capable of meeting stringent military specification requirements. While the majority of her acquisitions—72.7%—are conducted as full and open competitions, Clark demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 27.3% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages small business capabilities in niche manufacturing and logistics roles, aligning with the Coast Guard’s socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical performance standards. Her procurement focus is overwhelmingly centered on NAICS 336413, encompassing the acquisition of other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, with secondary emphasis on communications and navigation systems under NAICS 334511. This reflects her technical expertise in sourcing precision-engineered components for flight-critical systems, ensuring compliance with FAA and military airworthiness directives.
