Brandi R. Matlock

Brandi R. Matlock serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions in advanced manufacturing and aerospace systems. She plays a critical role in executing agency-wide contracting strategies that support high-precision instrumentation, aircraft component systems, and industrial machinery procurement. Her work ensures timely delivery of mission-critical technical equipment, aligning with federal acquisition regulations and performance-based contracting standards. Matlock routinely handles competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15, with a focus on technical evaluations, source selection, and contract administration for specialized engineering products. While specific contractor names are not available, Matlock maintains a diversified vendor base across Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers in precision manufacturing and electronics. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industrial manufacturers with proven capability in meeting stringent quality and compliance standards, including AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications. She fosters long-term partnerships with firms possessing specialized engineering expertise, particularly those capable of supporting rapid prototyping, calibration, and systems integration for defense and aerospace applications. Matlock’s procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly non-set-aside, with 88.9% of awards issued under full and open competition, indicating a strong emphasis on technical merit and performance over socioeconomic preferences. However, she consistently allocates 11.1% of opportunities to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission requirements. Her approach reflects a balanced strategy that prioritizes capability while still enabling small business growth within the industrial supply chain. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334515 for electrical measurement instrumentation, 336412 and 336413 for aircraft engine and auxiliary systems, 333924 for industrial material handling equipment, and 334419 for specialized electronic components. This technical alignment underscores her expertise in procuring high-reliability systems for aerospace, defense, and industrial automation environments, requiring deep understanding of technical specifications, test protocols, and supply chain resilience.
