Jeffrey Clarke

Jeffrey Clarke serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4819 325 Cons Pkp under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain Air Force infrastructure and aerospace systems. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts for facility modernization, specialized aviation components, and enabling technologies that support operational readiness. His portfolio primarily includes construction support services, communication systems, and fabricated metal products essential to base resilience and mission continuity. Clarke ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic Air Force priorities in infrastructure durability and technological modernization. Clarke’s contracting patterns reflect a broad vendor base with no dominant contractor relationships, indicating a deliberate strategy to foster competition and avoid over-reliance on single sources. He engages with a diverse array of vendors—from small specialty manufacturers to large industrial contractors—emphasizing technical capability, past performance, and regulatory compliance over proprietary relationships. His approach prioritizes open competition and fair opportunity, ensuring acquisitions are responsive to evolving operational needs without favoring established incumbents. His set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly aligned with open competition, with 96.2% of acquisitions issued without socioeconomic set-asides. However, he maintains a consistent, though modest, commitment to small business participation, with approximately 3.9% of awards directed under Total Small Business Set-Asides per FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach: prioritizing mission efficiency while still supporting small business inclusion where feasible and appropriate. Clarke’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561720 (Janitorial Services), 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), and 332999 (Miscellaneous Fabricated Metal Product Manufacturing), with additional emphasis on 334210 (Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing) and 337215 (Showcase and Locker Manufacturing). He routinely acquires facility maintenance services, IT support solutions, custom metal components for barracks and hangars, and telecommunications equipment, demonstrating deep familiarity with the technical requirements of military installation sustainment and base modernization programs.
