Matthew Dunsmore

Matthew Dunsmore serves as a key procurement lead within the FA8122 agency of the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing complex acquisitions in support of aerospace propulsion and avionics modernization. He oversees the lifecycle procurement of high-integrity aircraft components, including turbine systems, radar transmitters, and flight-critical sensors for legacy and active-duty fighter platforms such as the F-16 and F-110-powered aircraft. His work ensures the sustainment and remanufacture of mission-critical systems, aligning contract strategies with Air Force readiness objectives. Dunsmore specializes in sole-source and competitive acquisitions under strict technical and safety compliance standards, frequently engaging in engineering change proposals and technical data package reviews to maintain operational continuity. He maintains long-standing partnerships with leading aerospace defense contractors including Hamilton Sundstrand Corporation, Moog Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and United Dynamics, Inc., all of which possess deep expertise in precision manufacturing and system integration for military propulsion and control systems. These relationships are characterized by technical collaboration, sustained performance tracking, and contract modifications to accommodate evolving platform requirements. Dunsmore prioritizes vendors with proven capability in high-reliability component remanufacturing and AS9100-certified quality systems. Dunsmore’s procurement portfolio reflects a strict no-set-aside policy, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This approach underscores a mission-driven focus on technical superiority and rapid capability delivery over socioeconomic preferences, ensuring that only the most qualified industrial partners—regardless of size or certification—are selected based on performance, reliability, and system compatibility. His primary procurement focus is exclusively within NAICS 336412, Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing, with deep specialization in turbine engine overhaul, avionics integration, and high-pressure fluid systems. He procures mission-critical hardware including fuel control units, variable stator vanes, and digital engine control modules, requiring rigorous adherence to military specifications and aerospace quality standards.
