Clifford E. Jackson

Clifford E. Jackson serves as a Contracting Officer for the W6QM MICC-JB Lewis-McChord under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of construction and facility sustainment contracts critical to operational readiness. He oversees the acquisition of commercial and institutional building construction services essential to maintaining military infrastructure, ensuring compliance with environmental standards, and supporting a secure, habitable environment for service members and civilian personnel. His portfolio is exclusively focused on design-build and construction management contracts under NAICS 236220, aligning with the agency’s mission to modernize and sustain base facilities through efficient, mission-critical procurement. Jackson’s primary contractor relationship is with the Port of Moses Lake, which serves as the dominant vendor for construction and infrastructure projects under his purview. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term, performance-based partnerships with a single primary contractor, reflecting a streamlined procurement strategy centered on reliability, technical expertise, and consistent delivery of complex facility upgrades. While other vendors participate infrequently, his working relationships are characterized by high trust, repeat engagement, and a focus on mission continuity rather than competitive bidding cycles. Jackson’s procurement pattern reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, with no use of 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a strategic prioritization of technical capability and project scale over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the specialized nature of large-scale military construction. His contracting decisions prioritize proven performance, compliance with DoD construction standards, and the ability to deliver mission-critical infrastructure on schedule. His technical expertise lies exclusively in commercial and institutional building construction, encompassing new construction, renovations, energy-efficient retrofits, and infrastructure modernization for military housing, administrative facilities, and support buildings. He applies deep knowledge of UFC standards, Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 36, and sustainable building practices to ensure all acquisitions meet Army readiness and environmental compliance requirements.
