Matthew P. Redman

Matthew P. Redman serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-rsa, a unit of the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining and modernizing the U.S. Army’s aerial and missile defense capabilities. He manages complex acquisitions for mission-critical aerospace systems, including avionics, propulsion components, and guided missile subsystems supporting platforms such as the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache. His portfolio spans both hardware manufacturing and specialized technical services, ensuring operational readiness through timely procurement of high-reliability components and integrated support solutions aligned with Army modernization priorities. Redman maintains established relationships with leading defense contractors, notably Lockheed Martin Corporation and Alaska Aerospace Corp., partnering with industry leaders capable of delivering advanced aerospace systems under stringent military specifications. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based requirements and technical rigor, favoring vendors with proven experience in defense-grade manufacturing and systems integration. These partnerships are characterized by long-term collaboration, rigorous compliance oversight, and a focus on sustaining supply chain resilience for mission-critical platforms. While the majority of his acquisitions—87.5%—are conducted as full and open competitions, Redman consistently allocates 12.5% of opportunities as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation without reliance on specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a) or HUBZone. His procurement strategy prioritizes capability over socioeconomics, ensuring that small businesses with relevant technical expertise are competitively selected to support niche aerospace and defense requirements. His primary NAICS focus areas include 336413 for other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, 541990 for professional technical services supporting systems engineering and test, and 336414 for guided missile and space vehicle manufacturing. He specializes in procuring high-integrity components for radar, sensor fusion, and communication systems, reflecting deep technical familiarity with airborne defense architectures and the lifecycle support needs of Army aviation and missile defense programs.
