Matthew A. Chase

Matthew A. Chase serves as a Contract Specialist within the W0ML USA Deputy Tobyhanna, a critical element of the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining and modernizing military electronic warfare, signal, and instrumentation systems. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for specialized technical equipment, test instrumentation, and industrial infrastructure services essential to maintaining Army readiness. His acquisitions focus on high-precision electronic components, calibration systems, and mission-critical maintenance support, ensuring compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements and Army modernization priorities. Chase maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, primarily for facility upgrades and site infrastructure supporting electronic maintenance operations. His contractor engagements reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in defense-grade construction and industrial systems, while also fostering partnerships with niche suppliers of specialized electronic components and test equipment. His approach emphasizes reliability, technical compliance, and long-term sustainment support over short-term cost savings. A strong advocate for small business participation, Chase consistently structures procurements as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with nearly 59% of his awards reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand the defense industrial base and empower qualified small firms with expertise in military electronics, facility services, and precision manufacturing. His contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical performance standards. His primary NAICS focus areas include plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning contractors for facility modernization; instrument manufacturing for electrical signal measurement; and switchgear and transformer manufacturing to support power distribution systems at Tobyhanna Army Depot. These technical domains underscore his expertise in procuring mission-enabling infrastructure and high-reliability electronic systems critical to Army communications and electronic warfare readiness.
