Matthew Dolan

Matthew Dolan serves as Program Manager within the Department of the Air Force’s FA8771 AFLCMC GBK, where he leads the acquisition and lifecycle management of mission-critical information technology systems that enable air and space domain command and control, cyber resilience, and data-driven operational decision-making. He is responsible for end-to-end procurement of custom software development and systems integration services, ensuring alignment with Air Force digital modernization priorities including cloud migration, AI/ML enablement, and secure DevSecOps pipelines. His role bridges technical requirements with acquisition strategy, coordinating with engineering, cybersecurity, and mission stakeholders to deliver scalable, interoperable digital capabilities under strict compliance with DoD IT standards. Matthew Dolan engages with a broad spectrum of defense and commercial IT service providers, primarily partnering with firms specializing in secure software development, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise systems integration. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently works with vendors possessing DoD IL5/IL6 authorization, CMMC compliance, and experience in Air Force-specific platforms. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for performance-based, outcome-driven contracts with strong emphasis on agile delivery, continuous monitoring, and cybersecurity attestations. Matthew Dolan’s procurement strategy reflects a firm commitment to open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued as non-set-aside solicitations. He does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, instead focusing on technical capability, security posture, and mission readiness as the primary selection criteria. This approach ensures access to the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors capable of meeting the Air Force’s high-assurance IT requirements. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541512 — Computer Systems Design Services — encompassing custom software development, systems architecture, cybersecurity integration, and cloud-native application modernization. He consistently acquires services related to AI-enabled analytics platforms, secure microservices, zero-trust architectures, and automated test environments, reflecting deep technical expertise in next-generation defense IT ecosystems.
