Matthew P. Redman

Matthew P. Redman serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-rsa unit of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing complex acquisitions supporting the modernization of U.S. Army aerial and missile defense systems. He oversees the sourcing of mission-critical aerospace components, avionics, and sensor subsystems for platforms including the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache, ensuring technical compliance and operational readiness. His acquisitions span the full lifecycle—from prototype development to sustainment—emphasizing rapid integration of next-generation technologies into existing fleet architectures. Redman’s work directly enables the Army’s strategic imperatives in air and missile defense, requiring deep coordination with engineering, logistics, and program management teams to align contract deliverables with tactical requirements. Redman maintains a broad network of Tier 1 and Tier 2 defense suppliers specializing in advanced electronics, propulsion systems, and mission-critical avionics. He engages with both prime contractors and niche manufacturers capable of delivering high-reliability components under stringent MIL-STD and DO-160 specifications. His contracting approach prioritizes technical capability over cost alone, fostering long-term partnerships with vendors who demonstrate proven performance in austere environments and rapid prototyping cycles. He frequently collaborates with firms possessing ITAR compliance, AS9100 certification, and secure manufacturing credentials. Redman’s procurement portfolio is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-critical focus on technical superiority and rapid fielding, where specialized capabilities are limited to a narrow pool of qualified vendors. While socioeconomic set-asides are not utilized, his team ensures all solicitations are structured to maximize competition among technically capable firms, regardless of size or certification. His primary NAICS focus areas—334290, 334419, and 336413—reflect deep specialization in communications equipment, electronic components, and aircraft subsystems. He procures high-integrity circuitry, radar signal processors, flight control actuators, and integrated sensor suites critical to survivability and targeting systems, demonstrating expertise in aerospace electronics and defense systems integration.
