Matthew E. Paxton

Matthew Paxton serves as a Contracting Officer for the FA5570 501 CSW RCO under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in securing mission-enabling acquisitions that sustain base operations and remote operating locations. His portfolio encompasses a broad range of facility, infrastructure, and administrative support services critical to Air Force readiness, including construction, maintenance, and specialized equipment procurement. He executes contracts in full compliance with FAR and DFARS, ensuring timely delivery of essential services that support installation resilience, personnel welfare, and communications systems integrity. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable in the data, Paxton routinely engages with diverse vendors across multiple sectors to fulfill dynamic operational needs. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, competitive solicitation, and vendor accountability, fostering partnerships with both large-capacity contractors and small businesses capable of delivering specialized technical services under time-sensitive conditions. Paxton’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 88.9% of acquisitions issued without set-asides, indicating a focus on maximizing value and capability through broad market engagement. However, he consistently allocates 11.1% of awards to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation without prioritizing specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. His primary NAICS focus areas include commercial and institutional building construction (236220), other building finishing contractors (238390), cutting tool and machine tool accessory manufacturing (333515), passenger car rental (532111), and mental health practitioner offices (621330). This diverse technical footprint underscores his expertise in managing both physical infrastructure and personnel support services, bridging facility modernization with human capital needs across Air Force installations.
