Samantha Clark

Samantha Clark supports the mission of Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii by managing critical infrastructure acquisition programs that sustain and modernize naval installations across the Hawaiian Islands. She oversees the planning, solicitation, and award of construction and facility support contracts essential to maintaining operational readiness, with a focus on heavy civil engineering and commercial/institutional building projects. Her work ensures that military facilities meet stringent resilience, energy, and water security standards, aligning procurement activities with the Department of the Navy’s strategic infrastructure goals. She handles full and open competitions as well as targeted set-asides, consistently applying federal acquisition regulations to deliver mission-critical outcomes. Clark maintains strong, recurring relationships with key contractors including GMB INC and KAPULE LLC, both of which have demonstrated consistent performance in delivering complex construction and facility services under tight operational timelines. Her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and compliance with DoD facility standards, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on accountability and quality execution. These relationships reflect a preference for contractors with proven experience in Hawaii’s unique environmental and logistical conditions, including seismic resilience and marine exposure challenges. Her contracting patterns reveal a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deliberate effort to support veteran-owned enterprises. The remaining two-thirds are awarded through full and open competition, indicating a focus on capability over socioeconomic preference unless mission requirements dictate otherwise. Clark’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), encompassing projects such as berthing facilities, utilities infrastructure, barracks modernization, and energy-efficient building retrofits. Her expertise centers on technical domains requiring specialized knowledge in military construction standards, environmental compliance, and geotechnical engineering solutions tailored to island-based operations.
