Regina M. Clifton serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for a diverse portfolio of professional and environmental services. In this role, she ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing, competitive bidding, and contract administration. Her acquisitions primarily involve service-based contracts requiring technical expertise in landscaping, computer systems design, and environmental consulting, with a strong emphasis on performance-based outcomes and risk mitigation. She plays a critical role in translating operational needs into solicitations that attract qualified vendors while maintaining transparency and fiscal accountability. While specific contractor names are not available, Clifton maintains a balanced procurement approach that engages both large service providers and small business concerns, fostering competitive markets through open and set-aside solicitations.

She prioritizes vendor responsiveness, past performance, and technical capability in source selection, reinforcing a culture of accountability and value-driven contracting. Clifton demonstrates a pronounced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with 40% of her awards designated for HUBZone-certified small businesses and 60% awarded under full and open competition without set-asides. This pattern reflects a strategic balance between expanding opportunities for economically disadvantaged businesses and maintaining broad market access. Her consistent use of HUBZone set-asides underscores a deliberate effort to stimulate job creation and investment in qualified urban and rural communities, aligning with federal small business goals.
