Matt Kittridge

Matt Kittridge serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Land at Aberdeen office, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical electronic, communications, and electro-mechanical systems essential to land-based military platforms. He manages contract actions for advanced signal processing components, avionics, radio and data transmission equipment, and power and control subsystems that enable command, control, and tactical operations. His work directly contributes to sustaining and modernizing the Department of Defense’s land warfare capabilities through timely, compliant, and technically sound procurement decisions. Kittridge maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Carson Industries, Inc., and Creating Technology Solutions, LLC. These partners provide high-reliability electronic assemblies, RF and communications hardware, and custom electro-mechanical systems tailored to military environments. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and performance-based delivery, ensuring solutions meet stringent MIL-STD and DO-160 requirements for ruggedized operational use. Kittridge’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a strategic focus on open competition to ensure access to the broadest possible pool of technically qualified vendors. While socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are not utilized in his current portfolio, his approach prioritizes capability, reliability, and industrial base readiness over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with DLA’s mission to secure mission-critical systems without compromise. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 334220 (radio and wireless communications equipment), 335999 (miscellaneous electrical components), 334290 (other communications equipment), and 334418 (printed circuit assembly manufacturing). He routinely acquires complex electronic assemblies, embedded systems, RF modules, and hardened power distribution units, demonstrating deep expertise in the design, testing, and integration of mission-critical electronics for tactical and command systems.
