Matthew Crouch

Matthew Crouch serves as a key procurement professional within DLA Land at Aberdeen, supporting the Defense Logistics Agency’s mission to sustain and modernize land-based military platforms through the acquisition of critical electronic and electro-mechanical systems. He manages contracts for advanced signal processing components, avionics, radio and data transmission equipment, and mission-critical power and control systems essential to command, control, and tactical operations. His work directly enables operational readiness by ensuring timely delivery of high-reliability components for deployed defense systems, with a focus on technical specifications aligned with DoD standards for ruggedized electronics and secure communications. Crouch maintains consistent working relationships with specialized contractors including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Carson Industries, Inc., and Creating Technology Solutions, LLC—firms recognized for their expertise in custom electronics manufacturing, embedded systems integration, and mission-critical assembly. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven capability in low-volume, high-complexity production environments, often requiring compliance with MIL-STD and ITAR regulations. His contracting approach emphasizes technical validation, supply chain resilience, and long-term sustainment support over commoditized procurement. His acquisition portfolio is predominantly open competition, with 85.7% of awards issued without set-aside designations, reflecting the specialized nature of the requirements. However, he actively supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both mission-critical performance and socioeconomic objectives. Crouch’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 334412 (bare printed circuit board manufacturing) and 334511 (aeronautical and navigation system manufacturing), with significant activity in communications equipment (334290) and electronic assembly (334418). He routinely sources ruggedized circuit boards, RF modules, data interfaces, and current-carrying wiring devices engineered for harsh operational environments, underscoring deep technical familiarity with defense electronics supply chains and compliance-driven manufacturing standards.
