Matthew

Matthew serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA4418 628 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain and modernize infrastructure at Joint Base Charleston and associated installations. He executes full lifecycle contracting for construction, facility maintenance, and mission-enabling services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities in airfield resilience, utility reliability, and secure operational environments. His portfolio primarily encompasses design-build, renovation, and infrastructure support contracts requiring rigorous technical oversight and performance-based management. Matthew maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, PROTECT KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING, LLC, ACCESS PORTABLE TOILETS INC, and ML Armaments LLC, reflecting a blend of heavy construction, environmental services, and specialized defense support vendors. His procurement patterns demonstrate a preference for established contractors with proven track records in military facility operations, while actively fostering partnerships with firms capable of rapid response and mission-critical service delivery under austere conditions. Matthew exhibits a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with 40% of his awards designated for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and an additional 20% allocated to HUBZone and total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize veteran and underserved community participation while maintaining operational readiness through qualified small business performance. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), accounting for half of his portfolio, followed by 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 334220 (Radio and Television Broadcasting and Wireless Communications Equipment Manufacturing). This technical specialization underscores his expertise in managing complex infrastructure projects—from structural upgrades to secure communications systems—that directly support Air Force operational continuity and base modernization initiatives.
