Matthew D Nace

Matthew D. Nace serves as a key procurement lead within the Property Management - Co under the Bureau of Prisons, managing acquisitions that advance behavioral health and reentry services for incarcerated and transitioning populations. His role centers on securing contracted support for residential and outpatient mental health and substance use treatment programs, as well as facilities operations essential to program delivery. Nace ensures alignment with the agency’s mission to expand access to evidence-based care and structured reentry services through compliant, mission-driven contracting. He routinely handles service-based acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, prioritizing performance outcomes and community integration goals. Nace collaborates with a diverse range of service providers, including behavioral health clinics, community-based nonprofit organizations, and facilities support contractors. While specific vendor names are not publicly disclosed, his procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with organizations capable of delivering trauma-informed care, case management, and institutional support services. His working relationships emphasize capacity-building with local and regional providers who demonstrate experience in correctional settings and cultural competency in serving high-need populations. Nace demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic inclusion, with approximately two-thirds of his acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5. His contracting portfolio reflects a deliberate preference for small business participation, particularly those certified as small disadvantaged businesses or other eligible socioeconomically disadvantaged entities. This pattern underscores a strategic effort to empower local providers and expand equitable access to federal contracting opportunities within the behavioral health sector. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 621420 (Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse Centers), where he secures clinical services including counseling, medication-assisted treatment, and aftercare coordination. He also procures facilities support services under NAICS 561210, ensuring operational readiness of treatment sites. Nace’s expertise spans behavioral health service delivery, compliance with correctional healthcare standards, and the integration of reentry planning into contracted service models.
