Matt C. Little

Matt C. Little serves as a key procurement professional within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, responsible for managing complex acquisitions that sustain and modernize Air Force operational readiness. He specializes in contracting for systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), enterprise IT modernization, cybersecurity infrastructure, and mission-critical analytics services. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain technological superiority through expert technical support and administrative consulting, ensuring that procurement actions align with strategic modernization goals and defense acquisition regulations. He typically handles high-value, performance-based contracts requiring deep technical evaluation and long-term service delivery frameworks. Little maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading providers such as SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, reflecting a preference for established entities with proven expertise in defense-oriented technical services. His partnerships emphasize institutional knowledge, research-driven solutions, and scalable technical support capabilities, often involving long-term, multi-year task orders under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles. These relationships are characterized by collaborative, performance-focused engagements that prioritize innovation, compliance, and mission alignment over transactional vendor interactions. Little’s procurement portfolio shows no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical merit, capability, and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for rapid, high-confidence access to specialized expertise without restriction. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423430 (Computer and Computer Peripheral Equipment and Software Merchant Wholesalers) and NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), indicating a strong emphasis on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) software, enterprise platforms, cybersecurity tools, and integrated IT solutions. He routinely acquires mission-critical software systems, data analytics platforms, and network infrastructure components that support Air Force digital transformation and operational resilience.
