Clesson K. Paet

Clesson K. Paet serves as a Contract Specialist within the W7M4 Uspfo Activity Hi Arng, a critical unit under the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining military readiness through infrastructure, logistical support, and operational services. In this role, Paet manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and Army regulatory frameworks. Their portfolio primarily supports mission-critical facility upgrades, training environment modernization, and garrison sustainment initiatives, with a focus on construction, professional services, and operational support contracts that directly enable force readiness and deployment capabilities. Paet maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including NEXT CONSTRUCTION, INC., HCG-NKC LLC, ELITE PACIFIC CONSTRUCTION INC., AMETHYST BUILDERS, LLC, and HALOA CONSTRUCTION LLC, reflecting a preference for experienced, performance-driven firms capable of delivering complex facility and infrastructure projects. These partnerships are characterized by recurring contract actions, collaborative pre-solicitation engagement, and a strong emphasis on quality control and schedule adherence in high-stakes operational environments. A strong advocate for small business participation, Paet consistently structures acquisitions with a 66.7% total small business set-aside rate under FAR 19.5, prioritizing socioeconomic programs that enhance market access for small and emerging vendors. This pattern underscores a deliberate strategy to foster competition, promote economic resilience within the defense supply chain, and align with Department of Defense small business goals.
