Corey Mathis

Corey L. Mathis serves as a Buyer responsible for managing the acquisition of specialized photographic, chemical, and office supply products critical to operational readiness and administrative support functions. In this role, he executes full lifecycle procurement activities, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and agency mission objectives. His acquisitions primarily support technical and logistical needs related to imaging systems, chemical processing materials, and stationery supplies, requiring precise technical specifications and reliable supply chain coordination. Corey maintains a broad network of vendor partnerships across merchant wholesalers and specialty manufacturers, engaging both large-scale distributors and niche suppliers with expertise in photographic equipment and chemical formulations. His contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding and performance-based outcomes, fostering relationships with vendors capable of meeting stringent quality and delivery standards. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently evaluates suppliers based on technical capability, past performance, and responsiveness to federal procurement requirements. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 80% of awards issued under non-set-aside conditions. However, he actively supports small business participation, dedicating 20% of his acquisitions to 8(a) competed contracts, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising acquisition integrity. This balance ensures equitable access for disadvantaged businesses while maintaining rigorous standards for product performance and delivery. Corey’s primary focus lies within NAICS codes 325992 (photographic chemical manufacturing), 333316 (photographic and photocopying equipment manufacturing), 424120 (stationery and office supplies wholesale), and 423410 (photographic equipment and supplies wholesale). He specializes in procuring precision chemical formulations, imaging media, and commercial-grade office supplies requiring technical compliance with federal standards, indicating deep domain expertise in materials science and supply chain logistics for imaging and administrative systems.
