Matthew Davis

Matthew Davis supports the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency in executing critical procurement activities that secure and modernize the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. He plays a pivotal role in acquiring advanced telecommunications solutions that enable resilient, high-capacity, and interoperable network connectivity for military and federal operations. His responsibilities include managing the lifecycle of contracts for secure virtual private networks, fiber-optic backbone enhancements, and mission-critical telecom services, ensuring alignment with DISA’s strategic goals of legacy system modernization and cyber-resilient infrastructure deployment. Davis maintains consistent working relationships with leading telecommunications and defense contractors, including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven expertise in secure network engineering, satellite and terrestrial communications integration, and fiber infrastructure deployment. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance with DoD standards, and long-term operational sustainment. His contracting patterns show a strong orientation toward open competition, with 66.7% of awards issued without set-aside designations, while 33.3% are competitively awarded under the 8(a) program. This balance indicates a strategic commitment to leveraging small business innovation where it delivers unique capabilities, without compromising mission-critical requirements. He actively engages 8(a)-certified firms to foster diversity in the contractor base while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Though NAICS data is not currently available, his portfolio clearly centers on secure telecommunications, network modernization, and infrastructure resilience—domains requiring expertise in MPLS, SD-WAN, encrypted data transport, and DoD-approved cybersecurity frameworks. His work ensures the continuity of command, control, and communications across distributed operational environments.
