Matthew S. Ferry

Matthew S. Ferry serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation to award and contract administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations while advancing mission-critical support services for his organization. His portfolio primarily encompasses professional, administrative, and facility-related services, with a focus on achieving efficient, transparent, and legally sound outcomes. Ferry routinely handles simplified acquisitions under the simplified acquisition threshold as well as negotiated contracts requiring competitive procedures, ensuring alignment with FAR guidelines and agency objectives. Ferry maintains professional relationships with a diverse range of vendors providing essential support services, including landscaping, janitorial, insurance brokerage, vehicle rental, and management consulting firms. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, he consistently engages both large and small businesses through open competition, emphasizing fair and reasonable pricing, performance-based outcomes, and contract compliance. His approach reflects a balanced emphasis on market responsiveness and regulatory rigor, fostering reliable vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and service quality. Ferry’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maximize market participation and ensure the broadest possible competition, rather than reserving opportunities for socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB. While he does not prioritize set-asides, his process remains fully compliant with all applicable small business programs, and he actively evaluates small business capabilities as part of source selection when they are competitive offerors. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 561730 (Landscaping Services), 561720 (Janitorial Services), 524210 (Insurance Agencies and Brokerages), 532111 (Passenger Car Rental), and 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services). These reflect a strong emphasis on facility operations, administrative support, and professional advisory services. Ferry’s expertise lies in evaluating service delivery models, performance metrics, and risk mitigation strategies for non-technical, mission-enabling contracts, ensuring high standards of operational continuity and fiscal stewardship.
