Matthew Beatty

Matthew Beatty serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-orlando office of the Department of the Army, supporting the modernization of military training systems and defense technology integration. He manages complex acquisitions for research and development, systems engineering, and advanced simulation capabilities critical to enhancing operational readiness. His portfolio centers on next-generation mission command systems, live-fire training infrastructure, and aviation/artillery training technologies, ensuring the Army’s tactical edge through cutting-edge technical solutions. Beatty oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation to award and performance monitoring—aligning procurement strategy with the agency’s mission to accelerate innovation in defense education and combat training systems. He maintains consistent partnerships with leading defense technology firms including TORCH RESEARCH, LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, and FIDELITY TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION. These relationships are built on long-term collaboration in systems integration, modeling and simulation, and advanced software development for military applications. Beatty’s contracting approach emphasizes technical excellence and mission alignment, favoring vendors with proven expertise in defense R&D and high-fidelity training environments. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with deep domain knowledge in military systems rather than broad-based commercial providers. Beatty’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on securing the highest technical capability available, prioritizing mission effectiveness over socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally targeted, his awards remain open to all qualified vendors, with selection driven by technical merit and past performance. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541715, encompassing physical and engineering research and development, with secondary emphasis on custom computer programming and systems design services. He procures advanced software platforms, digital twin simulations, real-time training analytics, and integrated command-and-control systems—domains requiring deep expertise in defense-grade engineering and secure software architectures.
