Ellen S. Clark

Ellen S. Clark serves as a key procurement professional within the W074 Endist Savannah under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex civil engineering and environmental infrastructure contracts critical to maintaining operational readiness across Army installations. Her work centers on the acquisition of heavy construction, facility modernization, and environmental remediation services, aligning with the agency’s mission to sustain and upgrade aging military infrastructure. She handles a diverse portfolio of design-build, construction, and engineering services contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-critical timelines. Clark maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including SHERLOCK, SMITH & ADAMS INC., BLAIR REMY MERRICK MP JOINT VENTURE, LLC, and GURRI MATUTE CROMWELL JV LLC, among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for joint ventures and established firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction and environmental engineering. Her contracting patterns indicate a reliance on vendors capable of delivering integrated solutions across multiple technical domains, often requiring coordination between structural, utility, and ecological systems. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with nearly 50% of awards issued under open competition and over 35% set aside for total small business concerns under FAR 19.5. She actively utilizes 8(a) competed and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business set-asides, demonstrating a structured commitment to socioeconomic goals while maintaining competitive rigor. This balance supports both mission effectiveness and broader federal small business objectives. Clark’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in logging (113310) and engineering services (541330). She procures specialized services related to earthmoving, utility relocation, habitat restoration, and infrastructure upgrades, reflecting deep domain expertise in military civil works and environmental compliance. Her acquisitions consistently demand technical proficiency in geotechnical, hydraulic, and sustainable construction practices.
