Matthew B. Comer

Matthew B. Comer serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4814 6 Cons Pk unit of the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain operational readiness across deployed and garrisoned locations. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of procurement for communications infrastructure, IT systems, facility support services, and professional training resources. Comer specializes in complex service and equipment contracts governed by FAR and DFARS, ensuring compliance with Air Force standards while aligning acquisitions with strategic priorities in cybersecurity, base sustainment, and personnel readiness. Comer maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including SUPPLYCORE LLC, CYBERPROTEX, LLC, and Liberty Communications, Inc., reflecting a preference for vendors with proven capabilities in secure IT solutions, communications equipment, and administrative support services. His contracting patterns indicate a focus on established performers with technical expertise in military-grade systems, while also engaging specialized small businesses for niche service delivery. These partnerships are characterized by repeat engagements and performance-based contract structures that emphasize accountability and mission alignment. Comer demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly half of his awards directed toward small business set-asides—particularly Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses and HUBZone firms. While No Set-Aside contracts remain significant, his consistent use of FAR 19.5 set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to foster small business participation and enhance resilience within the defense industrial base. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 423430 for computer hardware and software distribution, NAICS 561110 for office administrative services, and NAICS 721110 for lodging support at remote installations. This reflects a technical domain expertise in securing integrated IT ecosystems, logistical support infrastructure, and mission-enabling services critical to Air Force operational continuity.
