Emily L. Clark

Emily L. Clark serves as a Contract Specialist with the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (00040) under the U.S. Coast Guard, where she manages the acquisition of critical maritime infrastructure and vessel sustainment services. Her role centers on executing full-cycle contracting actions for shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance contracts that ensure the operational readiness of the Coast Guard’s fleet. She specializes in complex, technical procurements governed by FAR and DFARS, with a focus on lifecycle management of cutters and related systems. Clark works closely with engineering and logistics teams to align contractual requirements with mission-critical operational needs, ensuring compliance with maritime safety and environmental standards. Clark maintains consistent procurement relationships with key vendors including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These partnerships reflect a pattern of engagement with specialized shipyards, marine service providers, and industrial equipment suppliers capable of delivering high-integrity naval-grade systems. Her contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical expertise in marine environments, and performance-based service delivery, fostering long-term collaborative relationships with contractors who demonstrate proven capability in vessel maintenance and systems integration. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly two-thirds of awards structured as small business set-asides—particularly HUBZone and Total Small Business set-asides—reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for underserved communities. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides also feature regularly, underscoring her alignment with federal mandates to promote veteran entrepreneurship and workforce inclusion. Clark’s technical focus is concentrated in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing), which accounts for over 60% of her acquisitions, supplemented by procurements in testing laboratories, switchgear manufacturing, and industrial instrumentation. This specialization reflects deep domain expertise in maritime systems, electrical control infrastructure, and nonferrous metal components essential to vessel performance and safety.
