Emanuel M Clemons

Emanuel M. Clemons serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Supply Systems Command Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk (NAVSUP FLC Norfolk), where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain U.S. Navy fleet readiness. He manages a diverse portfolio of contracts spanning engineering, logistics, maintenance, and technical support services essential to naval platform sustainment. His work directly supports the agency’s strategic imperative to ensure maritime superiority through reliable infrastructure and workforce development, with a focus on complex, performance-based acquisitions governed by FAR and DFARS requirements. Clemons maintains established relationships with a range of prime contractors, including Obsidian Global, LLC, Deloitte & Touche LLP, and Computational Physics Inc., reflecting a blend of specialized technical vendors and large-scale professional services firms. His contracting patterns indicate a preference for partners with proven expertise in defense logistics, systems integration, and mission-critical support services. He frequently engages contractors capable of delivering high-complexity, low-volume solutions tailored to naval operational needs, often requiring stringent compliance with military specifications and security protocols. While the majority of his acquisitions are unrestricted, Clemons demonstrates a consistent commitment to small business participation, with over one-third of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. His procurement approach aligns with DoD socioeconomic goals, prioritizing small business engagement without reliance on specialized set-asides like 8(a) or HUBZone, suggesting a focus on capability-driven competition rather than socioeconomic targeting. His primary NAICS focus areas—though seemingly unconventional—reflect niche procurement needs tied to naval infrastructure support, including religious organization services for morale, welfare, and recreation; hotel and lodging services for transient personnel; and specialized manufacturing of electrical components and nonferrous metal refining critical to shipboard systems. This unique blend underscores his expertise in procuring unconventional yet mission-essential goods and services across fragmented industrial sectors.
