He collaborates closely with program offices to define clear statements of work and performance metrics, ensuring contract deliverables align with operational objectives and quality standards. Clauson demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with the majority of his awards—72.7%—conducted as non-set-aside competitions, while actively supporting small business participation through 8(a) competed set-asides (18.2%) and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 (9.1%). This pattern reflects a strategic balance between open competition and targeted outreach to disadvantaged and small business concerns, consistent with federal socioeconomic goals. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), representing nearly three in ten of his acquisitions, followed by specialized services in flight training, child and youth services, and professional organizations.
