Cynthia Clemons

Cynthia Clemons serves as a key procurement lead within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Facility Development and Construction Division, overseeing the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure projects essential to operational readiness and personnel welfare. She manages the full lifecycle of construction contracts, from requirements definition and market research to solicitation, evaluation, and award, ensuring alignment with the Coast Guard’s strategic priorities in modernizing training centers, command facilities, and family housing. Her acquisitions are focused on delivering robust, code-compliant, and sustainably engineered buildings that support 24/7 maritime missions, with an emphasis on integrated utility, electrical, and mechanical systems. Clemons maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including FIBER BUSINESS SOLUTIONS GROUP INC, RQ CONSTRUCTION, LLC, and WHITING-TURNER CONTRACTING COMPANY, THE. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in large-scale commercial and institutional construction, particularly those capable of delivering complex, multi-phase projects under stringent federal compliance standards. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, rigorous contractor prequalification, and adherence to federal construction codes and safety protocols. Clemons’ contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on leveraging the broadest possible market capability to meet high-complexity construction demands, rather than targeting socioeconomic categories. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award patterns, all procurements remain compliant with federal transparency and fair competition requirements. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 236220 — Commercial and Institutional Building Construction — encompassing new construction, major renovations, and infrastructure upgrades. She specializes in procuring turnkey building solutions that integrate advanced HVAC, electrical distribution, fire protection, and security systems, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with federal construction standards and facility lifecycle management.
