Margarita E. Matson

Margarita E. Matson serves as a key procurement professional within the FA4407 375 Cons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing facility-related acquisitions that sustain mission-critical Air Force installations. Her work centers on securing construction, operations, and infrastructure services essential to airfield functionality, lodging, and environmental compliance. She handles a range of contract actions under FAR Part 36, primarily in the building construction and specialized facility support domains, ensuring alignment with DoD sustainability and readiness objectives. Her role is instrumental in translating operational needs into actionable procurement strategies that maintain high standards of safety, regulatory compliance, and mission continuity. Matson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including CHALLENGE UNLIMITED, INC., JAYTECH, INC., and NORTH AMERICAN IMPORT AND EXPORT COMPANY LLC, all of which provide specialized construction, facility maintenance, and technical services. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven experience in military-grade infrastructure projects, particularly those capable of delivering complex commercial and institutional building services under stringent security and environmental protocols. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, performance history, and compliance with federal construction standards. Her procurement patterns show a strong inclination toward open competition, with 71.4% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting a focus on broad market access and technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. However, she consistently supports small business participation, allocating 28.6% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic goals. Matson’s primary industry focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), where she oversees facility upgrades, renovations, and new construction at Air Force bases. She also manages niche acquisitions under NAICS 512240 (Sound Recording Studios), reflecting the agency’s unique requirements for acoustically controlled environments in training and communications infrastructure. Her expertise spans technical construction management, environmental compliance, and mission-specific facility design.
