James Clark, Contract Specialist

James Clark serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc-pica organization under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain combat readiness and installation infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of service-based contracts focused on logistics support, facility operations, and munitions supply chain enablers, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and defense readiness priorities. His work directly supports the agency’s strategic objectives in modernizing ammunition production capabilities and maintaining operational continuity across military installations through timely and compliant procurement actions. Clark maintains established relationships with key defense and industrial service providers, including NORTHROP GRUMMAN SYSTEMS CORPORATION, GENERAL DYNAMICS OTS (WILKES BARRE), LLC, and PIONEERING DECISIVE SOLUTIONS INC, among others. These partnerships reflect a mix of large prime contractors delivering complex systems integration and specialized small businesses providing niche operational support. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based service delivery, robust contract administration, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure mission-critical continuity and regulatory adherence. A defining feature of Clark’s procurement strategy is his strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 82% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently prioritizes small business participation, with additional set-asides directed toward 8(a) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, reflecting a deliberate effort to foster economic opportunity while maintaining high standards of contractor performance and accountability. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories including 561730 (Landscaping Services), 562111 (Solid Waste Collection), and 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services), alongside supporting functions such as septic system maintenance and medical laboratory services. This reflects expertise in managing facility sustainment, environmental compliance, and installation quality-of-life services essential to garrison readiness and force projection capabilities.
