Matthew A. Knoll serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4855 27 SoCons Lgc under the Department of the Air Force, overseeing acquisitions critical to sustaining air base infrastructure and operational readiness. His responsibilities include managing complex contracts for facility systems, communications equipment, and mission-critical support services, with a focus on modernizing wastewater treatment, HVAC, and secure data infrastructure. Knoll ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic Air Force resilience goals, frequently handling high-stakes, technical solicitations that require rigorous engineering and logistics coordination. Knoll maintains a consistent working relationship with ALTUS TECHNICAL SOLUTIONS LLC, a primary contractor delivering specialized construction, maintenance, and systems integration services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade infrastructure, though he actively cultivates partnerships with small businesses that bring niche technical capabilities.

Knoll’s contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, he consistently prioritizes socioeconomic programs that expand the defense industrial base, favoring small businesses capable of delivering specialized engineering and manufacturing solutions aligned with Air Force needs. His primary NAICS focus areas include 332439 for custom metal container systems, 212321 for construction-grade aggregate sourcing, 334516 for analytical instrumentation used in environmental monitoring, and 336612 for specialized boat-building capabilities supporting remote base logistics. This diverse technical portfolio reflects expertise in procurement domains spanning civil engineering, environmental compliance, and defense logistics, requiring deep understanding of material specifications, regulatory standards, and supply chain resilience.
