Anthony W. Mattera

Anthony W. Mattera serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4419 agency, responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and sustainment services essential to air base operational readiness. He executes full-cycle procurement activities for maintenance, repair, and modernization contracts supporting aerospace systems, facility utilities, and environmental control infrastructure. His work directly enables the agency’s strategic priorities in aircraft sustainment and base resilience, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned delivery of capabilities. Mattera typically handles complex service and construction acquisitions requiring technical coordination across engineering, logistics, and environmental compliance teams. Mattera maintains a consistent working relationship with Coordinated Defense Supply Systems, Inc., a key vendor providing specialized logistics and maintenance support solutions for Air Force installations. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven experience in defense infrastructure, while also actively engaging with small business partners to meet socioeconomic objectives. He fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in performance accountability, timely delivery, and adherence to defense-specific quality standards. His procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 30% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and nearly 17% allocated to Women-Owned Small Businesses. HUBZone and other socioeconomic set-asides are also regularly utilized, reflecting a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity while maintaining mission-critical performance standards. His approach balances compliance with meaningful economic inclusion across the defense supply base. Mattera’s primary acquisition focus centers on NAICS 238330 (Flooring Contractors), indicating significant investment in facility modernization and base infrastructure upgrades. Additional activity includes procurement of office furniture manufacturing, communications equipment, and niche support services. While some classifications appear atypical for a defense agency, they reflect the broad scope of sustainment needs—from environmental systems to administrative support—required to maintain fully operational air bases. His expertise lies in translating complex facility and logistical requirements into compliant, performance-based contracts.
