CPT Matt Bookout

CPT Matt Bookout serves as a key procurement lead within the 0410 Aq Hq Contract Office, part of the Department of the Army’s broader force support infrastructure mission. He manages a diverse portfolio of non-combat, mission-enabling contracts critical to sustaining Army installations and deployed operations, with a focus on hospitality, logistics, and administrative support services. His acquisitions directly enable personnel readiness by securing essential services such as food service, facility maintenance, translation support, and equipment leasing. CPT Bookout operates within the full spectrum of federal acquisition regulations, ensuring compliance while optimizing contract performance and operational continuity for both garrison and expeditionary environments. He maintains consistent, long-term relationships with a core group of contractors including BOOZ ALLEN HAMILTON INC, BARBARICUM LLC, QUIET PROFESSIONALS, LLC, SOS INTERNATIONAL LLC, and SECOND-61 LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, mission-aligned vendors capable of delivering complex, multi-site services under dynamic operational conditions. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, task order flexibility, and sustained vendor accountability, often utilizing Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) and Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) vehicles to meet fluctuating demand. CPT Bookout’s contracting portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on capability and scalability over socioeconomic classifications, prioritizing mission need and vendor performance over programmatic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally targeted, his office remains compliant with all statutory requirements and may incorporate small businesses as subcontractors within larger prime contracts. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services), 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry Services), and 722320 (Caterers), each representing 25% of his portfolio, alongside 517312 (Telecommunications) and 532412 (Equipment Leasing). This specialization underscores his expertise in sustaining daily garrison operations and enabling deployed force readiness through non-tactical, high-volume support services.
