Matthew D. Hibbert

Matthew D. Hibbert serves as the primary contracting lead for W071 Endist Omaha under the Department of the Army, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure and support services essential to military readiness and nuclear deterrence operations. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction, utility, and environmental support contracts, ensuring alignment with the agency’s mission to modernize hardened facilities, utility corridors, and training infrastructure across the U.S. defense footprint. His procurement activities emphasize mission-critical engineering and sustainment services, requiring strict compliance with defense construction standards and environmental regulations. Hibbert maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including JOHN BOWMAN, INC., PAF ELECTRICAL, INC., HENDRICKSON TRANSPORTATION LLC, PERINI MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC., and WASHINGTON EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURING COMPANY, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, vertically integrated firms capable of delivering complex civil works, electrical systems, heavy transportation, and specialized equipment services. His contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative relationships with contractors who demonstrate technical expertise in defense-grade infrastructure projects. His procurement strategy reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals, with approximately half of his awards issued under Total Small Business Set-Aside provisions per FAR 19.5, and the other half open to all competitors. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to cultivate small business capacity while maintaining access to large, qualified contractors for mission-critical tasks. He actively engages with small businesses across multiple socioeconomic categories, promoting equitable opportunity without compromising operational readiness. Hibbert’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction), and 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction), reflecting his role in sustaining base infrastructure and environmental compliance. He also oversees acquisitions in conservation administration and research services supporting military land use planning. His expertise centers on integrated civil works, utility system modernization, and environmental stewardship within constrained defense environments.
