Vivienne L Clarke

Vivienne L. Clarke serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain operational readiness and modernization efforts. Her portfolio centers on professional services including systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), enterprise IT modernization, and mission analytics, with a strong emphasis on compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) procedures. She manages the full lifecycle of contract actions—from market research and solicitation development to award and administration—ensuring alignment with Air Force strategic priorities and federal procurement integrity standards. Clarke maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, reflecting a preference for established technical partners with proven capabilities in defense-oriented research and advisory services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and collaborative vendor engagement, often leveraging long-term, task-order-based indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to ensure agile support for evolving operational needs. These partnerships are characterized by sustained collaboration and technical alignment with Air Force modernization objectives. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Clarke consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with 84.8% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic programs, fostering opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms while maintaining rigorous standards for capability and compliance. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS categories related to media production and audiovisual technology, including 512110 (Motion Picture and Video Production), 711510 (Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers), and 334310 (Audio and Video Equipment Manufacturing). This reflects a specialized need for content creation, multimedia systems, and specialized audiovisual infrastructure to support training, command and control, and public affairs missions across Air Force operations.
