Mr. Mathew Alan Malo

Mr. Mathew Alan Malo serves as the primary contracting representative for U.S. Coast Guard Base Portsmouth (70Z027), overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure support services essential to operational readiness. His role centers on managing construction, maintenance, and environmental compliance contracts that sustain mission-critical facilities including barracks, stations, and logistics infrastructure. He executes procurements under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring alignment with Coast Guard strategic priorities in facility modernization, hazardous material remediation, and resilience upgrades. His portfolio primarily involves complex, multi-year contracts requiring technical oversight and regulatory adherence. Mr. Malo maintains established relationships with key contractors including ROCKWELL COLLINS, INC., AIRBUS US SPACE & DEFENSE INC, AVIATRIX INC, Quality Biological, Inc., and GOLDBELT INTEGRATED LOGISTICS SERVICES, LLC. These partnerships span defense systems integration, specialized logistics, environmental services, and technical support, reflecting a preference for vendors with proven experience in federal maritime and infrastructure environments. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on proven performers with demonstrated capability in high-compliance, safety-sensitive domains, often resulting in long-term, performance-based agreements. His procurement approach reflects a strong commitment to small business participation, with 45.8% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While no other socioeconomic set-asides (e.g., 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB) are dominant, his consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to foster vendor diversity and enhance competition within the defense support sector. He actively prioritizes small business eligibility and compliance in solicitation design and evaluation criteria. Mr. Malo’s primary NAICS focus includes Ship Building and Repairing (336611), reflecting direct support to Coast Guard vessel infrastructure, alongside Specialty Trade Contractors (238990) for facility upgrades and Metal Merchant Wholesalers (423510) for structural and maintenance materials. His technical domain expertise lies in maritime facility sustainment, environmental remediation, and integrated logistics support, requiring deep familiarity with Coast Guard-specific engineering standards and federal environmental regulations.
