Lt Col Dave Mattila

Lt. Col. Dave Mattila serves as the primary contracting lead for W7N8 USPFO Activity Wiang 115, a Department of the Army organization responsible for sustaining and modernizing critical military infrastructure. In this role, he oversees the full lifecycle of acquisitions for construction, aviation support systems, and environmental remediation projects, ensuring alignment with DoD readiness objectives. His portfolio emphasizes facility modernization, aviation-related infrastructure enhancements, and contamination mitigation efforts, requiring deep technical coordination with engineers, environmental specialists, and field operations teams to deliver mission-critical capabilities on time and within regulatory compliance. Mattila maintains sustained partnerships with key contractors including ORIN TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS OPERATING LLC, NAN SOLUTIONS LLC, and CON-WAL INC., reflecting a preference for proven vendors with demonstrated expertise in commercial construction, air transportation support services, and specialized engineering solutions. His contracting approach prioritizes reliability, performance history, and technical capability over speculative bids, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on consistent delivery and compliance with federal construction and environmental standards. His procurement strategy reflects a strong emphasis on open competition, with 87.5% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, indicating a focus on capability-driven sourcing rather than socioeconomic preferences. However, he maintains a deliberate 12.5% allocation to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating measured support for small business participation where technical requirements permit. Mattila’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), followed by 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation) and 541330 (Engineering Services). He routinely procures facility upgrades, airfield support systems, site remediation, and technical engineering design services, requiring expertise in military construction standards, FAA-compliant aviation infrastructure, and environmental remediation protocols. His domain expertise centers on integrating resilient, mission-essential infrastructure with evolving operational demands.
