Matthew M. Schoewe

Matthew M. Schoewe serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions within the aerospace and defense sector. His role encompasses planning, solicitation, evaluation, award, and administration of complex contracts for aircraft manufacturing systems and related technical services. He ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations and supports the agency’s mission by delivering mission-critical aviation capabilities through transparent, competitive procurement processes. Schoewe routinely handles sole-source and sealed-bid contracts for high-precision components, avionics integration, and airframe production, requiring deep technical understanding of aerospace engineering standards and defense logistics. While specific contractor names are not available, Schoewe maintains consistent engagement with prime contractors and tiered subcontractor networks specializing in aircraft manufacturing. His working relationships are characterized by a focus on established industry players with proven track records in defense-grade production, quality assurance, and supply chain traceability. He prioritizes contract performance oversight and risk mitigation, fostering collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in compliance, schedule adherence, and technical validation. Schoewe’s procurement patterns reflect a strict preference for non-set-aside acquisitions, with 100% of his awards issued under full and open competition. This indicates a strategic emphasis on maximizing market participation from qualified industrial base vendors rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach aligns with mission-critical requirements that demand specialized manufacturing capabilities typically found in large, certified defense contractors. His primary focus is on NAICS 336411 — Aircraft Manufacturing — encompassing the procurement of military and commercial aircraft systems, propulsion components, flight control systems, and associated support equipment. Schoewe possesses specialized expertise in aerospace procurement regulations, technical specifications such as AS9100, and the integration of defense standards like MIL-STD and DO-160. His work supports the acquisition of high-reliability, mission-essential platforms requiring rigorous certification and supply chain integrity.
