Matt Booth

Matt Booth serves as a key procurement lead at U.S. Coast Guard Base Seattle (70Z033), responsible for managing facility infrastructure and operational support contracts critical to mission readiness. He oversees the acquisition of building systems, utilities, environmental compliance services, and maritime maintenance solutions that sustain the base’s physical assets. His portfolio includes construction, repair, and specialized engineering services essential to coastal and waterfront operations, ensuring alignment with federal facility standards and Coast Guard operational requirements. Booth’s work directly enables the agency’s mission to maintain resilient infrastructure across its Pacific Northwest footprint. He maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including VCLOUD GOV INC., ASTRALLIC INC., M.B.A. ADHC LLC, VICTORY CONTRACTING LLC, and JOHN’S WATERPROOFING CO., each of which delivers specialized services in facility maintenance, environmental remediation, and infrastructure upgrades. These partnerships reflect a preference for proven, regionally based vendors with demonstrated expertise in maritime and federal facility environments. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and performance history over broad competition, resulting in repeat engagements with established contractors. Booth’s procurement patterns show a strong orientation toward open competition, with 91.3% of awards issued without set-aside designation. Only 8.7% of contracts are competed under the 8(a) program, indicating a limited but intentional use of socioeconomic programs. While small business participation is not the primary driver, he maintains compliance with federal requirements and selectively leverages 8(a) capabilities when technical specificity or geographic constraints justify it. His primary NAICS focus areas include 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing) for propulsion and auxiliary systems, 324191 (Petroleum Lubricating Oil and Grease Manufacturing) for marine lubricant procurement, and 483113 (Coastal and Great Lakes Freight Transportation) for logistics support. He also frequently procures services under 532284 (Recreational Goods Rental) for temporary equipment and 517410 (Satellite Telecommunications) for remote communications infrastructure, reflecting a technically diverse portfolio centered on maritime operational sustainability.
