Tiare McClellan

Tiare McClellan serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Hawaii, supporting the agency’s mission to deliver and sustain critical infrastructure for naval operations across the Hawaiian Islands. She manages acquisitions for mission-critical facility systems, with a focus on electrical, communications, and environmental control equipment essential to operational readiness. Her work ensures that military installations maintain reliable, secure, and energy-efficient infrastructure through strategic contracting practices aligned with Department of the Navy standards. She typically handles complex, technical procurements involving design-build, performance-based service contracts, and equipment installation projects requiring stringent compliance with military specifications. McClean collaborates closely with primary contractors GMB INC and KAPULE LLC, both of which have established track records in delivering facility modernization and systems integration services for naval bases. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-driven vendor partnerships that emphasize technical expertise, timely delivery, and compliance with naval engineering standards. These relationships are characterized by consistent recompetition and performance-based evaluations, ensuring accountability and quality in facility support services. McClean’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside approach, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her award structure, her contracting decisions remain compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and emphasize technical merit, past performance, and operational suitability over socioeconomic classifications. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes related to electrical and control systems, including Switchgear and Switchboard Apparatus Manufacturing, Relay and Industrial Control Manufacturing, and Automatic Environmental Control Manufacturing. She also regularly procures security systems services and wireless communications equipment, demonstrating deep expertise in mission-critical infrastructure systems that support naval base operations, cybersecurity, and energy resilience.
