Matthew C. Jeffery

Matthew C. Jeffery serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in managing complex acquisitions to sustain and modernize critical aerospace and space-based defense systems. His responsibilities include developing, negotiating, and administering contracts for guided missile systems, satellite communications infrastructure, and space vehicle platforms essential to national security. Jeffery operates within a high-stakes operational environment, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement actions with the agency’s strategic priorities of readiness, resilience, and technological superiority in space and missile domains. Jeffery’s contractor relationships are primarily with prime contractors specializing in defense aerospace manufacturing and space systems integration. While specific vendor names are not disclosed, his procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with Tier-1 defense contractors possessing deep expertise in guided missile propulsion, guidance systems, and space vehicle sustainment. He fosters collaborative partnerships with vendors capable of delivering technical solutions under stringent performance, security, and lifecycle support requirements, often working through cost-reimbursement and fixed-price incentive contract types to balance risk and accountability. Jeffery’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted without set-asides. This indicates a focus on leveraging the broadest possible industrial base to meet mission-critical requirements, rather than prioritizing socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. His approach emphasizes technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic criteria, aligning with the high-performance demands of national defense systems. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336414 (Guided Missile and Space Vehicle Manufacturing), where he acquires advanced propulsion systems, flight control hardware, and space vehicle sustainment services. He also engages in NAICS 481212 (Nonscheduled Chartered Freight Air Transportation) to support the rapid movement of sensitive defense cargo. Jeffery’s technical expertise centers on missile systems lifecycle management, space platform logistics, and secure command-and-control infrastructure procurement.
