Marc Mattsson

Marc Mattsson serves as the primary contracting lead for the FA8213 Aflcmc Ebhk under the Department of the Air Force, overseeing the acquisition of critical explosive ordnance systems and propulsion technologies essential to air-launched munitions and aerial defense platforms. His role centers on managing the full lifecycle of high-risk, technically complex procurements—from requirements validation through contract award and performance oversight—to ensure the readiness and lethality of U.S. airpower. He specializes in sourcing advanced energetic materials, initiation systems, and guided missile components, often navigating stringent safety, security, and compliance protocols under Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and Arms Export Control Act (AECA) frameworks. Mattsson maintains consistent working relationships with key industry partners including Pacific Scientific Energetic Materials Company, Chemring Energetic Devices Inc., Stratus Systems, Inc., and the Canadian Commercial Corporation. These partnerships reflect a blend of domestic defense industrial base engagement and international cooperative procurement under U.S.-Canada defense agreements. His contracting approach emphasizes technical collaboration with specialized manufacturers of high-energy materials and precision ordnance subsystems, prioritizing proven capability, supply chain resilience, and adherence to military specifications such as MIL-STD-1316 and MIL-DTL-32427. His procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 80.8% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a focus on mission-critical urgency and technical exclusivity. Nevertheless, he actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (19.2%), consistently leveraging FAR 19.5 mechanisms to engage qualified small manufacturers in non-core but essential support roles. Mattsson’s primary NAICS focus lies in Explosives Manufacturing (325920), reflecting deep expertise in the procurement of propellants, detonators, and pyrotechnic systems. Secondary categories include commercial construction (236220) and electrical contracting (238210), indicating integrated facility sustainment efforts for secure ordnance handling and storage infrastructure. His domain expertise spans the full spectrum of energetic materials engineering and ordnance integration, positioning him as a key steward of Air Force munitions modernization.
