Charles E. Clemons

Charles E. Clemons serves as a Contracting Officer within the Support Services Section (SS40) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, where he is responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical administrative, logistical, and operational support services that sustain FEMA’s emergency response infrastructure. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with FEMA’s strategic readiness goals. His portfolio primarily includes consulting, technical services, and facility support contracts that enable efficient crisis operations and organizational resilience. Clemons collaborates with a diverse range of vendors, including management consultants, professional services firms, and specialized wholesalers, to secure the expertise and equipment necessary for FEMA’s operational continuity. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for experienced, non-exclusive partners capable of delivering scalable, mission-aligned solutions under dynamic conditions. He maintains a results-driven, performance-based approach to vendor engagement, emphasizing accountability, responsiveness, and technical competency over long-term sole-source relationships. Clemons does not utilize socioeconomic set-asides; all of his acquisitions are competed on an open, unrestricted basis. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize broad market competition and technical merit over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring access to the widest possible pool of qualified vendors. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, he remains compliant with all federal small business goals and encourages competition from all eligible entities. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), followed by 541990 (Other Professional Services) and 423430 (Computer and Peripheral Equipment Wholesalers). He routinely acquires strategic planning support, operational consulting, facility logistics, and technical equipment procurement services, demonstrating deep expertise in administrative infrastructure and crisis-enabled procurement environments. His domain knowledge centers on sustaining FEMA’s readiness through agile, non-technical support services critical to emergency response operations.
