Matthew Loudis

Matthew Loudis serves as a key procurement lead within the Construction A/E Team 1 at the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, managing acquisitions critical to the maintenance and modernization of infrastructure across national wildlife refuges and fish hatcheries. His work directly supports the agency’s conservation mission by ensuring functional water systems, safe public access, and resilient facility operations. He typically handles design-build, construction, and infrastructure modernization contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on civil works, water resource systems, and institutional building upgrades. His acquisitions are strategically aligned with long-term habitat protection goals and environmental education initiatives. Loudis maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Global Engineering Services Inc., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, ATZ Solution LLC, and Peak Engineering LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in water infrastructure, site development, and mechanical systems installation. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and contractor reliability in remote or ecologically sensitive locations, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in regulatory adherence and mission alignment. His procurement strategy is heavily skewed toward small business participation, with 92.3% of contracts set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic equity. He routinely awards contracts to small disadvantaged businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and HUBZone firms, aligning with federal mandates to expand opportunities for underrepresented contractors while maintaining high standards of technical delivery. Loudis’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237110 (Water and Sewer Line Construction) and 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in water supply systems (221310) and plumbing, heating, and HVAC systems (238220). He specializes in procuring services related to irrigation modernization, hydration station rehabilitation, and sediment control infrastructure, demonstrating deep technical expertise in environmental infrastructure and ecological compliance within federally protected lands.
