Matthew McLaughlin

Matthew McLaughlin serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing consulting services acquisitions within a federal agency focused on operational efficiency and strategic management. He oversees the full lifecycle of contract actions, from requirement development through award and administration, with a primary emphasis on administrative and general management consulting services. His role is central to ensuring that agency leadership receives expert advisory support to enhance governance, process improvement, and organizational performance. McLaughlin’s acquisitions are designed to meet mission-critical needs through competitively awarded contracts that align with federal acquisition regulations and strategic planning objectives. While specific contractor names are not available, McLaughlin maintains a balanced procurement approach that engages both large professional services firms and small business concerns. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with approximately half of his actions structured as no-set-aside procurements and the other half reserved exclusively for small businesses under FAR 19.5. This dual strategy supports a diverse vendor ecosystem while ensuring access to specialized expertise across market segments. McLaughlin demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, consistently allocating half of his contracting activity to total small business set-asides. His approach aligns with broader agency goals to foster economic opportunity and enhance competition, leveraging the capabilities of small firms without compromising on quality or delivery. He does not prioritize specific socioeconomic categories such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, but instead focuses broadly on small business eligibility under the general small business set-aside framework. His procurement portfolio is exclusively concentrated in NAICS 541611, reflecting a deep specialization in administrative management and general management consulting services. He procures strategic advisory services including organizational design, performance management, process reengineering, and operational efficiency consulting. This technical domain expertise ensures that agency initiatives are supported by high-caliber, results-driven consulting solutions tailored to complex public sector challenges.
