Celestino Matutino

Celestino Matutino serves as a key procurement lead within the W7MV Uspfo Activity Azang 162, a Department of the Army unit dedicated to sustaining military installation readiness and personnel welfare. In this role, he manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions spanning infrastructure maintenance, logistics support, and quality-of-life services essential to operational readiness. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts that ensure safe, functional, and habitable environments for service members and civilian staff, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal acquisition regulations and mission-aligned resource allocation. Matutino cultivates partnerships with a broad spectrum of vendors, including small businesses and specialized service providers across technical and non-traditional sectors. While no single contractor dominates his award portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a deliberate strategy to engage diverse suppliers capable of delivering niche services—from automotive repair to therapeutic healthcare and specialized equipment manufacturing. His working relationships are characterized by consistent engagement with firms possessing relevant technical certifications and proven capacity to meet DoD standards for performance, safety, and timeliness. A defining feature of Matutino’s procurement approach is his strong preference for small business set-asides, with 71.4% of his acquisitions designated under FAR 19.5 as total small business set-asides. This reflects a sustained commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals, actively prioritizing participation from small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned firms. His pattern of awarding under no set-aside conditions (28.6%) typically aligns with unique technical requirements where competition is limited, yet he consistently seeks ways to expand small business access. His primary NAICS focus areas include 333923 (overhead crane systems), 811111 (automotive repair), 621340 (therapeutic health services), 516120 (television broadcasting), and 334517 (irradiation apparatus manufacturing), indicating a highly diversified technical domain. These reflect a mission requiring both physical infrastructure support and specialized personnel services, demonstrating his expertise in navigating complex, non-standard procurement scenarios to meet unconventional operational needs.
