Clarissa Bermodes

Clarissa Bermodes serves as a key procurement professional within the W071 Endist Omaha office of the Department of the Army, supporting the sustainment and modernization of critical military infrastructure. She manages a portfolio of construction and technical services contracts essential to maintaining base readiness, nuclear deterrence facilities, and utility systems across the U.S. defense footprint. Her acquisitions focus on residential remodeling, facility upgrades, and professional engineering support services, ensuring that physical environments meet stringent military operational standards. Bermodes operates within the Army’s broader mission to enable strategic deterrence through resilient infrastructure, coordinating closely with field engineers and program managers to align contracting outcomes with mission-critical timelines and technical specifications. She maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including JOHN BOWMAN, INC., PAF ELECTRICAL, INC., HENDRICKSON TRANSPORTATION LLC, PERINI MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., and WASHINGTON EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, vertically integrated firms capable of delivering complex construction, electrical, and transportation logistics services under demanding military conditions. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on proven vendors with demonstrated capacity in military-grade facility modifications and infrastructure support, often requiring compliance with UFC standards and environmental regulations. Bermodes exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with over one-third of her awards structured as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. While the majority of her acquisitions remain open to full and open competition, her consistent use of SDVOSB set-asides signals a deliberate effort to foster veteran-owned enterprise capacity within the defense industrial base. Her socioeconomic contracting approach balances mission necessity with statutory small business goals. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236118 (Residential Remodelers), reflecting extensive activity in upgrading barracks, family housing, and support facilities, alongside NAICS 541990 for specialized technical services such as facility assessments, engineering design, and compliance consulting. This dual focus underscores her expertise in both physical construction and the professional services underpinning military infrastructure readiness.
