HALEY Clark

Haley Clark serves as the primary procurement lead for the Maritime Supply Chain agency under the Department of Defense’s Defense Logistics Agency Land and Maritime, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical industrial components essential to naval and maritime operational readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of hardware systems used in fluid control, electrical distribution, and electromechanical assemblies aboard ships, submarines, and expeditionary platforms. She ensures timely delivery of high-reliability components that meet stringent military specifications, aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic modernization goals for legacy maritime systems. Clark typically handles competitive sealed bid and negotiated contracts under FAR Part 15, with a focus on technical compliance and supply chain resilience. Clark’s contractor relationships are centered on manufacturers and suppliers of precision-engineered hardware, primarily through open market solicitations. She engages with a broad base of industrial vendors capable of meeting DoD quality standards, including certified ISO 9001 and AS9100 compliant firms. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, her procurement approach favors established manufacturers with proven track records in defense-grade production, emphasizing technical capability, delivery reliability, and compliance with military specifications such as MIL-STD and SAE standards. Clark’s contracting activity reflects a strict preference for non-set-aside procurements, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a deliberate focus on maximizing technical capability and industrial capacity rather than socioeconomic set-asides, consistent with the agency’s mission-critical nature and the specialized nature of the hardware required. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, she remains compliant with all applicable socioeconomic statutes. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 332510—Hardware Manufacturing—where she acquires custom-fabricated valves, actuators, junction boxes, switchgear, and electromechanical control units. Her expertise lies in sourcing ruggedized, corrosion-resistant components designed for harsh maritime environments, requiring deep technical understanding of materials, tolerances, and environmental testing protocols critical to naval system integrity.
