Matthew D. Durbin

Matthew D. Durbin serves as a Contracting Officer within the Department of the Air Force’s FA2517 21 Cons Bldg 350 office, responsible for managing mission-critical acquisitions that support infrastructure modernization and operational readiness across Air Force installations. He oversees the full lifecycle of procurements for facility systems, including prefabricated metal structures, specialized rubber and plastic components for engineering applications, satellite telecommunications equipment, and deep-sea freight logistics services. His work directly enables the sustainment and enhancement of secure, resilient defense infrastructure, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and alignment with Air Force strategic modernization goals. Durbin maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of experienced vendors, including ASTERI CONSULTING SERVICES LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, ARHAB LLC, and PRIMEPRO BUSINESS SOLUTIONS LLC. These partnerships reflect a focus on firms with demonstrated capability in defense-adjacent construction, advanced communications, and specialized manufacturing. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and performance history, often favoring contractors with prior DoD experience and proven track records in delivering complex, mission-critical solutions under tight operational timelines. Durbin’s contracting portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to prioritize technical merit, cost-effectiveness, and mission urgency over socioeconomic preferences, while still ensuring compliance with all federal small business outreach requirements. His approach underscores a results-driven procurement philosophy centered on capability rather than certification-based set-asides. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 326220 (rubber and plastics hoses and belting), 517410 (satellite telecommunications), 332311 (prefabricated metal building manufacturing), and 483111 (deep sea freight transportation). These categories indicate deep expertise in procuring engineered infrastructure components, secure communications systems, modular construction solutions, and strategic logistics support—each essential to sustaining Air Force installation resilience and global operational deployment readiness.
