Matthew Huber

Matthew Huber supports the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service, FAS AAS Region 5, in executing mission-critical acquisitions for advanced information technology, engineering, and communications systems. He plays a pivotal role in procuring integrated IT operations, command and control infrastructure, and mission-focused communications equipment that directly enable federal mission readiness. His procurement portfolio centers on software development, systems design, and R&D services essential to modernizing government-wide technical capabilities, particularly in intelligence and defense-related domains. Huber operates within a framework that prioritizes agility, interoperability, and cybersecurity compliance across all acquisition lifecycle phases. While specific contractor names are not publicly identified, Huber consistently engages with a diverse ecosystem of technology vendors, including both large systems integrators and innovative small businesses specializing in software publishing and applied research. His contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach to vendor partnerships, fostering collaboration with firms capable of delivering secure, scalable, and mission-tailored solutions. He emphasizes performance-based outcomes and leverages performance metrics to ensure vendor accountability and technical alignment with agency objectives. Huber demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to cultivate capacity among small businesses with expertise in IT and engineering R&D, ensuring broad market participation and innovation infusion. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead favoring unrestricted small business competition to maximize vendor diversity and technical agility. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 513210 (Software Publishers) and 541715 (Research and Development in Physical and Engineering Sciences), underscoring his specialization in custom software development, systems modeling, simulation tools, and engineering analysis services. Huber’s expertise lies in acquiring mission-critical software platforms and technical research outputs that support secure communications, data fusion, and operational decision-making across federal agencies.
