Matthew Berry

Matthew A. Berry serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA9401 377 Msg Pk, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions for advanced aerospace and defense systems. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for instrumentation, secure communications infrastructure, electronic warfare support, and laboratory-grade analytical equipment. Berry ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement actions with the agency’s strategic priorities to modernize air force operational capabilities. He routinely handles complex, technical solicitations requiring specialized engineering and logistical expertise, often involving high-integrity systems deployed in mission-critical environments. Berry maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including J STAR ENTERPRISES INC, LARON, LLC, FIVEBYFIVE, LLC, VISION DISTRIBUTORS LLC, and Boh Environmental, L.L.C. These partnerships span the procurement of specialized hardware, fiber optic components, environmental compliance solutions, and mission-support software systems. His contracting approach emphasizes vendor reliability, technical precision, and supply chain resilience, fostering long-term collaborations with firms capable of delivering ruggedized, high-performance equipment under stringent military specifications. While the majority of his acquisitions (66.7%) are conducted without set-asides, Berry actively supports small business participation, with one-third of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for small businesses with proven capabilities in technical domains, without compromising mission readiness or acquisition efficiency. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 423430 for computer and peripheral equipment, NAICS 335921 for fiber optic cable manufacturing, and NAICS 334519 for precision measuring and controlling devices. He frequently procures embedded systems, signal conditioning hardware, and mission-specific instrumentation, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with aerospace electronics, data acquisition systems, and secure communications architectures.
