Melodie Clare

Melodie Clare serves as a key procurement professional within the 0413 AQ HQ RCO-HI, a Department of the Army organization responsible for sustaining military readiness across the Pacific region. She manages a diverse portfolio of construction, maintenance, and mission-enabling service contracts critical to installation infrastructure resilience, environmental compliance, and operational continuity. Her acquisitions focus on facility upkeep, utility systems, and waste management services that directly support Army installation sustainability and mission assurance, ensuring that critical infrastructure remains functional under demanding operational conditions. Clare maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including HAMASAKI CONSTRUCTION LLC, PHOENIX V LLC, and SURECAN LLC, among others, who provide specialized trade services across roofing, electrical, and general construction disciplines. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established regional vendors with proven performance on military installations, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in reliability, compliance, and responsiveness to urgent operational needs. She frequently engages contractors capable of rapid mobilization and adherence to strict DoD environmental and safety standards. Her procurement strategy prioritizes socioeconomic inclusion, with approximately 50% of contracts issued without set-asides, 30% designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and 20% competed under the 8(a) program. This balanced approach ensures competitive rigor while actively promoting opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned businesses, aligning with Army-wide goals for equitable contracting and workforce development. Clare’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 238160 (roofing contractors) and 238990 (other specialty trade contractors), reflecting heavy investment in building envelope integrity and facility maintenance. She also routinely procures services under 238210 (electrical installation) and 236220 (commercial construction), alongside 562998 (waste management), demonstrating expertise in integrated infrastructure support. Her domain knowledge spans hazardous waste disposal, energy-efficient retrofits, and mission-critical facility upgrades essential to sustaining Army operations in remote and austere Pacific environments.
