Carolyn M. Matz

Carolyn M. Matz serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-apg under the Department of the Army’s W91CRB organization, where she manages acquisitions critical to the development and fielding of advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. Her responsibilities encompass the end-to-end contracting lifecycle for highly specialized aeronautical instrumentation, radio frequency platforms, and battlefield data analytics systems. She ensures alignment with the Army’s modernization priorities by executing complex solicitations for cutting-edge sensing technologies and secure tactical communications infrastructure, often working closely with engineering and technical teams to define performance-based requirements that meet evolving battlefield needs. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, Matz’s procurement portfolio consistently engages with defense technology manufacturers possessing deep expertise in precision instrumentation and RF systems. She fosters collaborative partnerships with vendors capable of delivering ruggedized, field-deployable hardware and software solutions that meet stringent military standards, including MIL-STD and DoD cybersecurity protocols. Her approach emphasizes technical rigor, competitive bidding, and performance accountability across the supply chain. Matz’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic set-asides, though she remains compliant with all federal contracting regulations and may consider small business participation where it aligns with technical requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 334519—Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing—reflecting her specialization in advanced sensors, signal conditioning units, data acquisition systems, and embedded control instrumentation. She routinely procures mission-critical components for airborne, ground, and mobile platforms used in electronic warfare, target tracking, and real-time battlefield analytics, demonstrating deep domain expertise in military-grade sensing and control technologies.
