Leonard Clyde

Leonard Clyde serves as a Sales Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition of recyclable material wholesale distribution services. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while facilitating efficient, transparent, and cost-effective contracting processes that support environmental sustainability and supply chain resilience. His responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating vendor proposals, negotiating contract terms, and overseeing contract performance—primarily for bulk procurement of secondary raw materials such as scrap metal, paper, plastics, and glass. Leonard’s work directly enables the agency’s operational needs by securing reliable sources of recycled commodities through competitive and compliant contracting practices. Leonard maintains professional relationships with a broad network of recyclable material merchant wholesalers, including both large national distributors and regional suppliers with established logistics and processing capabilities. He engages vendors through full and open competition, prioritizing technical capability, delivery reliability, and environmental compliance over price alone. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance metrics and contract compliance, fostering accountability and continuity in supply chain operations. Leonard Clyde’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic programs. This reflects a strategic alignment with the nature of the industry, where scale, infrastructure, and regulatory compliance often necessitate established commercial entities rather than small business-specific contracting mechanisms. His primary focus is on NAICS 423930—Recyclable Material Merchant Wholesalers—where he specializes in procuring bulk quantities of post-consumer and post-industrial recyclables for industrial reuse. His expertise lies in evaluating supplier capabilities in material sorting, processing, transportation, and environmental documentation, ensuring that all acquisitions meet federal sustainability and waste management standards. Leonard’s domain knowledge centers on the circular economy, material recovery facilities, and the regulatory frameworks governing recycled commodity trade.
