Matthew Quinn

Matthew Quinn serves as a procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of critical naval aviation systems. He manages complex contract actions for advanced aircraft components, avionics, and mission-critical support equipment, ensuring alignment with the Navy and Marine Corps’ modernization priorities. His work directly enables the operational readiness of carrier-based and expeditionary air platforms by facilitating timely delivery of technically sophisticated hardware and integrated systems. Quinn operates within a high-stakes defense acquisition environment, where compliance with DoD acquisition regulations and technical rigor are paramount. He maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading aerospace and defense primes including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with these organizations to procure next-generation airframe components, sensor suites, and mission systems. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term sustainment contracts and performance-based logistics, fostering collaborative vendor partnerships that prioritize reliability, interoperability, and rapid fielding. These relationships reflect a focus on trusted industrial base partners capable of meeting stringent military specifications and rapid turnaround requirements. Quinn’s contracting portfolio shows a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no use of socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects the highly specialized, technologically advanced nature of the systems he procures, which often require Tier 1 industrial capabilities and deep engineering expertise not yet widely available among small businesses in this domain. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 334511 (Search, Detection, Navigation, Guidance, Aeronautical, and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing). He regularly acquires flight control systems, radar and electronic warfare components, weapon integration hardware, and auxiliary power units—technical domains requiring deep aerospace engineering knowledge and strict adherence to military standards such as MIL-STD and DO-160.
