Matthew Kopp

Matthew R. Kopp serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the acquisition of complex aerospace and navigation systems for federal programs. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations while delivering mission-critical technology solutions that support national defense and aviation infrastructure. His portfolio centers on high-precision instrumentation and guidance systems, requiring deep technical understanding of engineering specifications, performance-based contracting, and risk mitigation strategies. Kopp plays a pivotal role in executing full lifecycle acquisitions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—ensuring timely delivery of capabilities aligned with operational requirements. Kopp works closely with a focused network of specialized manufacturers and systems integrators experienced in aeronautical and nautical instrumentation. His contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms possessing advanced manufacturing capabilities, ISO-certified quality systems, and expertise in defense-grade electronics. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he maintains collaborative relationships with vendors capable of meeting stringent MIL-STD and RTCA DO-160 compliance standards. His approach emphasizes technical fidelity, supply chain resilience, and performance accountability over price alone. Kopp’s procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate alignment with the technical complexity and specialized nature of the systems he procures, where only a limited pool of qualified vendors meets the stringent performance and certification thresholds. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, his process remains transparent and accessible to all eligible offerors capable of fulfilling mission-critical requirements. His primary procurement focus is NAICS 334511, encompassing the design, development, and manufacturing of search, detection, navigation, guidance, aeronautical, and nautical systems and instruments. He routinely acquires radar systems, inertial navigation units, flight control sensors, and avionics integration packages, requiring expertise in electromagnetic compatibility, real-time data processing, and ruggedized electronics. Kopp’s technical acumen ensures acquisitions support high-reliability applications in defense, aerospace, and maritime domains.
