Matthew Moreton

Matthew Moreton serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Army Contracting Command – Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA), specializing in the acquisition of critical ground combat systems and enabling technologies for Army tactical forces. He manages complex contracts for armored vehicles, small arms, and integrated ordnance systems that enhance soldier lethality, survivability, and battlefield mobility. His work directly supports the Army’s modernization priorities, including rapid prototyping and fielding of next-generation combat platforms. Moreton handles full lifecycle contracting activities—from requirements validation and source selection to contract execution and performance monitoring—ensuring alignment with Department of Defense acquisition regulations and operational readiness goals. He maintains sustained relationships with leading defense contractors including BAE SYSTEMS LAND & ARMAMENTS L.P., MURTECH, INC., BAY SHIP & YACHT CO, JAPAN MARINE UNITED CORPORATION, and PROFESSIONAL CONTRACT SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a focus on established industrial base capabilities in armored vehicle manufacturing, precision ordnance integration, and specialized logistics support. Moreton’s contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, supply chain resilience, and performance accountability, often engaging vendors with proven expertise in military-grade engineering and systems integration. Moreton’s procurement portfolio exhibits a 100% preference for non-set-aside contracts, indicating a strategic focus on open competition to ensure access to the broadest possible industrial base. There is no evidence of targeted socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs in his award patterns, suggesting a prioritization of technical capability and mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic preferences. His primary procurement activity centers on NAICS 333924—Industrial Truck, Tractor, Trailer, and Stacker Machinery Manufacturing—reflecting deep specialization in the acquisition of tracked and wheeled military transport platforms, armored mobility systems, and associated material handling equipment. This technical domain requires expertise in mechanical engineering standards, military vehicle survivability requirements, and integrated armor systems, positioning Moreton as a subject matter expert in land combat system procurement.
