Kenneth Matos

Kenneth Matos serves as a Contracting Officer within the W7PA Uspfo Activity Pr Arng under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-enabling services critical to Army National Guard readiness. His portfolio focuses on securing logistical, facility, and operational support contracts that sustain training environments, deployable infrastructure, and personnel services. Matos executes full and open competitions as well as targeted set-asides, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS while aligning procurements with strategic force projection goals. He routinely handles complex service contracts requiring integrated facility management, food services, and construction support, often involving multi-year performance-based requirements. Matos maintains established working relationships with key contractors including CH2M HILL - HDR JV and RAGLAN LLC, both of which provide specialized engineering, construction, and operational support services. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for experienced, high-capacity vendors capable of delivering integrated solutions across diverse geographic and operational domains. These partnerships are typically structured as indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) or performance-based service contracts, emphasizing accountability, quality assurance, and mission continuity. While the majority of his acquisitions are conducted as no set-aside (70%), Matos consistently prioritizes small business participation, allocating 20% of awards to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 10% to 8(a) competed contracts. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster socioeconomic diversity in the supplier base while maintaining performance standards. He actively leverages the 8(a) program to develop capacity among disadvantaged businesses in mission-critical service sectors. His primary NAICS focus includes perishable and miscellaneous food manufacturing (311991, 311999), lodging services (721110), commercial building construction (236220), and textile product manufacturing (314999), indicating a broad operational footprint spanning food service, barracks and lodging infrastructure, facility upgrades, and uniform-related supply chains. Matos demonstrates technical proficiency in performance-based acquisition methodologies and integrated service delivery models essential to sustaining Army National Guard operations.
