Clevester Hines

Clevester Hines, Jr. serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R9 Acquisition Management Division, where he plays a pivotal role in executing strategic procurements to support the maintenance, modernization, and operational efficiency of federal facilities nationwide. He manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions spanning design-build construction, facilities support services, and critical building systems, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to sustain safe, functional, and energy-efficient federal infrastructure. His work directly supports the lifecycle management of federal buildings through complex contract vehicles including indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and performance-based service contracts. Hines maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors, most notably AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, with whom he has executed multiple high-priority service agreements. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in federal facilities management, while also integrating smaller firms through competitive set-asides. He engages in collaborative procurement processes that emphasize performance metrics, quality assurance, and contractor accountability under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement structures. His procurement strategy demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of his awards designated for Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and a notable 5.6% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. While the majority of his acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his deliberate use of set-asides reflects a structured approach to fostering small business participation and promoting equitable access to federal contracting opportunities. Hines specializes in procuring services under NAICS codes 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services) and 561720 (Janitorial Services), with additional focus on facilities support (561210) and recreational infrastructure (713940). His technical expertise lies in integrating IT-enabled facility operations, custodial performance standards, and logistics support services critical to federal building functionality, ensuring acquisitions meet both operational needs and sustainability benchmarks.
