Carlet A Clark

Carlet A. Clark serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0409 AQ HQ Contract office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex acquisition processes that sustain military infrastructure and operational readiness across U.S. garrisons and overseas installations. Clark oversees the full lifecycle of contracts for facility maintenance, specialized construction, and critical equipment servicing, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements. Their work directly supports the resilience of airfields, utilities, barracks, and logistics systems—particularly in European theaters—by procuring mission-critical services that maintain force readiness and quality of life for deployed personnel. Clark maintains established relationships with key contractors including PAE Applied Technologies LLC and BSH HUISHUDAPPARATEN B.V., engaging primarily with experienced defense support vendors capable of delivering technical maintenance, industrial equipment servicing, and facility infrastructure solutions. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven performers with demonstrated capability in austere environments, often involving long-term service agreements and performance-based contracting structures. The working relationships are characterized by consistent collaboration, rigorous performance monitoring, and a focus on mission-critical delivery timelines. Set-aside preferences indicate a strong emphasis on full and open competition, with 91.1% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, Clark maintains a deliberate 8.9% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission requirements. While not prioritizing 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, Clark ensures compliance with all socioeconomic reporting and promotes equitable access where market conditions permit. Procurement activity centers on NAICS codes related to industrial machinery maintenance (333924, 811310), automotive repair (811198), and specialized services (624190, 311119), reflecting a technical focus on heavy equipment servicing, facility systems upkeep, and logistical support infrastructure. Clark’s expertise lies in acquiring high-reliability industrial and maintenance services critical to sustaining military operations in expeditionary and garrison environments.
