Clarence G. Spaulding

Clarence G. Spaulding serves as a key procurement lead within the Mid Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval surface platforms. He manages a portfolio of critical acquisitions focused on shipbuilding, repair, and shore-based infrastructure support, ensuring the operational readiness of the fleet through timely procurement of structural metal systems, mechanical subsystems, and electrical installation services. His work directly enables the center’s industrial maintenance capabilities, bridging technical requirements with contractual execution to meet stringent naval standards for durability and compliance. Spaulding maintains long-standing relationships with core contractors including Fairlead Boatworks, Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc., Howard W. Pence, Inc., and Kampi Components Co., Inc., all of whom provide specialized shipyard services, technical support, and precision components. His contracting approach emphasizes proven performance, technical reliability, and industrial capacity, favoring established vendors with demonstrated expertise in naval maintenance environments. These partnerships are built on consistent, repeat engagements rather than one-time solicitations, reflecting a preference for trusted suppliers with deep domain knowledge. His procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of contracts awarded under full and open competition, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, the nature of the work often attracts qualified small firms through open solicitations. His approach aligns with the Navy’s emphasis on mission-critical readiness over socioeconomic targeting. Spaulding’s primary NAICS focus is evenly split between Ship Building and Repairing (336611) and Electrical Contractors and Other Wiring Installation Contractors (238210), reflecting his specialization in structural integrity systems and shipboard electrical infrastructure. He procures heavy-gauge metal fabrication, welding assemblies, conduit systems, and integrated power distribution networks essential to vessel survivability and mission functionality, demonstrating deep technical fluency in naval industrial engineering domains.
