Matthew A Krichman

Matthew A. Krichman serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing and executing procurement actions for security services under federal acquisition regulations. In this role, he ensures compliance with statutory requirements, conducts market research, develops solicitation documents, and awards contracts through competitive and non-competitive mechanisms. His work directly supports mission-critical security operations by securing qualified providers of guard and patrol services. Krichman specializes in full lifecycle contract management, from requirement validation and source selection to contract administration and performance evaluation, ensuring alignment with agency objectives and regulatory standards. Krichman maintains a consistent procurement pattern focused on a broad base of qualified vendors providing security guard and patrol services. While no single contractor dominates his award portfolio, he engages with a diverse network of firms—ranging from national security service providers to regional and local contractors—emphasizing responsiveness, past performance, and compliance with labor and security standards. His contracting approach prioritizes transparency, fairness, and adherence to FAR guidelines, fostering a competitive environment that encourages quality service delivery without reliance on exclusive vendor relationships. Krichman’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market participation and ensure the highest level of service quality through broad competition, rather than socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. While he does not prioritize socioeconomic categories in award decisions, his processes remain fully compliant with all applicable small business participation goals and reporting requirements. His primary area of expertise lies in NAICS 561612—Security Guards and Patrol Services—where he procures a range of personnel-based security solutions, including static post coverage, mobile patrols, event security, and access control services. Krichman possesses deep technical knowledge of security industry standards, including ASIS guidelines and DHS best practices, ensuring that contract requirements align with operational needs and risk mitigation protocols. His specialization enables him to effectively evaluate contractor capabilities in physical security, training compliance, and emergency response readiness.
