Kyle R Matsinger

Kyle R. Matsinger serves as a key procurement professional within Navsup Weapon Systems Support, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain and modernize naval aviation and weapon systems. He manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical components, including avionics, power generation systems, and specialized machinery essential to aircraft readiness and operational capability. His work ensures the timely delivery of high-reliability parts and subsystems across legacy and next-generation platforms, aligning with the agency’s strategic focus on supply chain resilience and technical modernization. Matsinger typically handles sole-source, competitive, and urgent requirement contracts under FAR and DFARS guidelines, often coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to validate technical specifications prior to award. Matsinger maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse base of industrial suppliers, primarily Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers specializing in aerospace-grade components and precision-machined systems. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages firms with AS9100 and ISO 9001 certifications, emphasizing quality control, traceability, and defense-specific compliance. His contracting approach favors established vendors with proven track records in military environments, while also facilitating transitions to qualified new entrants through technical assistance and early vendor engagement. Matsinger’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize technical capability and industrial base breadth, prioritizing performance and mission-critical reliability over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his portfolio, he remains open to qualified small businesses that meet stringent technical and quality standards. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333998 (miscellaneous machinery) and 336413 (aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment), with significant activity in current-carrying wiring devices and printed circuit board manufacturing. He specializes in sourcing high-integrity electrical systems, avionics housings, and mission-critical electronic subsystems, demonstrating deep expertise in military-grade materials, environmental testing protocols, and obsolescence management for aging platforms.
