Cleville Yarbrough

Cleville Yarbrough serves as a key procurement lead within the 0413 Aq Hq Rco-ak Wainwrig, a Department of the Army installation support office responsible for sustaining operational readiness at Fort Wainwright and other remote Alaskan military installations. In this role, Yarbrough manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and base services essential to garrison operations in a harsh, high-latitude environment. Their portfolio primarily encompasses facility maintenance, environmental compliance, and logistical support contracts, ensuring the continuity of military readiness through reliable physical infrastructure and essential utilities. Yarbrough’s acquisitions are strategically aligned with the agency’s mission to deliver resilient, compliant, and sustainable base operations under extreme conditions. Yarbrough maintains a focused contractor relationship with CLEAN & SERENE LLC as the primary vendor, reflecting a preference for specialized, locally responsive service providers capable of operating in Alaska’s unique logistical and environmental constraints. While the majority of contracts are awarded to this single contractor, the office maintains a lean vendor pool optimized for mission-critical performance rather than broad competition, indicating a high-trust, performance-based partnership model. This pattern suggests a reliance on proven capability over open bidding, particularly for time-sensitive or technically complex tasks. A strong commitment to small business participation is evident in Yarbrough’s contracting patterns, with 80% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic development in Alaska and leverage the agility of small firms to meet the unique demands of remote garrison support. The consistent use of set-asides underscores a proactive approach to socioeconomic contracting goals within the Department of Defense framework. Yarbrough’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services), reflecting the critical need for wastewater and environmental management systems in off-grid installations. Secondary emphasis on NAICS 332312 (Fabricated Structural Metal Manufacturing) and 483211 (Inland Water Freight Transportation) highlights expertise in procuring custom infrastructure components and Arctic-capable logistics solutions. Their technical domain spans environmental engineering, cold-weather construction, and remote supply chain operations, making them a specialist in sustaining military infrastructure in one of the nation’s most challenging operational environments.
