Matthew Kohlbek

Matthew Kohlbek serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA4600 55 Cons Pkp organization, where he manages the acquisition of mission-critical infrastructure and technical systems essential to Air Force operational readiness. His portfolio focuses on the procurement of facilities maintenance, secure communications, HVAC, electrical systems, and cyber-enabled infrastructure upgrades. Kohlbek plays a pivotal role in ensuring timely and compliant contract execution across complex, high-stakes environments, aligning acquisitions with Air Force resilience goals and federal procurement regulations. He routinely handles performance-based service contracts, construction-related support, and IT-enabled facility modernization initiatives requiring stringent security and interoperability standards. Kohlbek maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including COMMAND CONTROL COMMUNICATIONS ENGINEERING & LOGISTICS LLC, PRIMECORPS LLC, TECHNOLOGISTY LLC, AMORSERV LLC, and ELKHORN WEST CONSTRUCTION, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in military-grade facility sustainment, secure communications integration, and mission-critical system maintenance. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance accountability, and adherence to technical specifications required for Air Force installations, often involving complex scope management and contract modifications. A defining feature of Kohlbek’s procurement strategy is his exclusive use of Total Small Business Set-Aside authorities under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a robust commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. All of his acquisitions are structured to maximize opportunities for small businesses, ensuring equitable access to defense-related work without preference for large or prime contractors. This pattern underscores a deliberate effort to cultivate a diverse, resilient small business base capable of supporting Air Force infrastructure needs. While specific NAICS codes are not available, Kohlbek’s acquisitions consistently target technical domains including facility systems maintenance, secure communications logistics, electrical and HVAC modernization, and cyber-physical infrastructure support. His work requires deep familiarity with DoD facility standards, NIST cybersecurity guidelines, and military construction protocols, positioning him as a specialist in mission-critical, non-combat procurement within the Air Force’s sustainment ecosystem.
