Matthew Graham serves as a key procurement professional within the Securities and Exchange Commission, supporting the agency’s mission to enforce federal securities laws through technology-driven oversight. He manages acquisitions for mission-critical information systems, data analytics platforms, and cybersecurity infrastructure essential to market surveillance and fraud detection. His portfolio centers on modernizing regulatory technology capabilities, ensuring the SEC maintains robust, real-time monitoring of financial markets. Graham routinely handles complex IT service contracts requiring high-assurance compliance with federal data standards and operational resilience requirements. He maintains sustained working relationships with leading federal contractors including General Dynamics Information Technology, Booz Allen Hamilton, Maximus Federal Consulting, Team GreenZone JV, and Procentrix, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with deep expertise in financial data systems, cloud-based analytics, and secure infrastructure modernization. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, integrated system interoperability, and adherence to NIST and FISMA controls, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in technical rigor and compliance. Graham exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with 42.9% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5.
