Rena A. Clark

Rena A. Clark serves as a Contract Support Contractor within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Headquarters Contract Operations (CG-912), providing critical acquisition support for high-priority maritime and aerospace procurement initiatives. She facilitates the end-to-end contract lifecycle for complex technical systems, including communications equipment, surveillance technologies, and vessel modernization components essential to coastal and riverine operational readiness. Her role bridges strategic acquisition planning with execution, ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while aligning contract actions with the Coast Guard’s mission to enhance maritime domain awareness and force modernization. Clark maintains established working relationships with key industrial partners including Bollinger Shipyards Lockport, L.L.C., Davie Defense Inc., Rauma Marine Constructions Oy, and Rozema’s Boat Works, Inc., all of which provide specialized shipbuilding, defense systems integration, and maritime technology solutions. Her procurement activities involve close collaboration with these prime contractors to deliver mission-critical hardware and services, often under time-sensitive schedules requiring rigorous technical oversight and contract administration. She supports performance-based contracting approaches and ensures adherence to quality assurance protocols for delivered systems. Clark’s contracting portfolio reflects a strong focus on non-set-aside procurements, with 100% of her actions conducted under full and open competition without socioeconomic set-asides. This indicates a preference for selecting vendors based on technical capability, past performance, and industrial capacity rather than socioeconomic criteria, consistent with the complexity and scale of the Coast Guard’s maritime technology requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334220, Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing, underscoring deep expertise in acquiring advanced radio frequency systems, radar integration platforms, satellite communications gear, and other electronic systems critical to maritime surveillance and command, control, and coordination. Her technical domain knowledge centers on secure, ruggedized communications infrastructure deployed across Coast Guard cutters, aircraft, and shore-based assets.
