Matthew Klotzbach

Matthew A. Klotzbach serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle for mission-critical services aligned with national security and public safety objectives. He oversees the full spectrum of contracting activities—from market research and solicitation development to award administration and contract closeout—ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations and agency mission priorities. His portfolio primarily involves service-based acquisitions requiring stringent operational and compliance standards, particularly in security-sensitive domains. Klotzbach plays a pivotal role in translating agency needs into legally sound, competitively awarded contracts that deliver value and accountability. Klotzbach maintains professional relationships with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in investigative services and petroleum infrastructure support. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, he consistently engages firms with proven expertise in background investigation protocols and bulk fuel handling operations. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work definitions, and rigorous source selection criteria to ensure contractor accountability and service quality. He fosters collaborative relationships with vendors who demonstrate technical proficiency, regulatory compliance, and operational reliability. Klotzbach’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted as non-set-aside procurements. This indicates a focus on selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, prioritizing capability and compliance over designated program preferences. While he does not currently utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his awards still adhere to all applicable small business subcontracting requirements and fair competition principles under the Federal Acquisition Regulation. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561611 (Investigation and Personal Background Check Services), where he manages complex contracts for personnel vetting, security clearance support, and threat assessment services. He also routinely procures services under NAICS 424710 (Petroleum Bulk Stations and Terminals), supporting logistics and fuel supply chain operations. His technical expertise spans security operations, compliance frameworks, and critical infrastructure logistics, making him a specialized practitioner in high-stakes, regulated service acquisition.
