Clifford Hedgspeth

Clifford Hedgspeth Jr. serves as a key procurement professional within Navfacsyscom Mid-Atlantic, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to deliver resilient, mission-critical infrastructure across Navy and Marine Corps installations in the Mid-Atlantic region. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and facilities support contracts, overseeing the acquisition of commercial and institutional building projects, heavy civil engineering works, and related services essential to sustaining operational readiness. His role involves end-to-end contract administration—from solicitation through award and performance monitoring—ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with naval infrastructure modernization priorities. Hedgspeth routinely collaborates with established prime contractors including RYAN CONSTRUCTION CO INC, WEEKS-CASHMAN JV, APPLEDORE MARINE - CH2M JV, W. M. JORDAN COMPANY, INCORPORATED, and MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, multi-disciplinary firms capable of executing complex construction and engineering tasks under stringent military standards. His contracting patterns indicate consistent engagement with joint ventures and integrated service providers, emphasizing technical capability, safety compliance, and schedule reliability in high-stakes environments. His procurement strategy balances open competition with targeted socioeconomic set-asides, allocating approximately one-third of awards to 8(a) competed contracts and nearly one-sixth to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to fostering small business participation while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. His approach supports broader DoD goals for equitable access and workforce development without compromising project integrity. Hedgspeth’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with additional emphasis on facilities support services and specialized equipment rental. He procures services ranging from new construction and renovation of barracks and command centers to dredging, utility upgrades, and base-wide infrastructure sustainment, demonstrating deep expertise in defense-related construction and lifecycle facility management.
