Matthew Quinn

Matthew Quinn serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of critical naval aviation systems. In this role, he manages complex procurement actions for aircraft, avionics, and mission-critical support equipment, ensuring alignment with Navy and Marine Corps operational requirements. His work spans the full contract lifecycle—from market research and solicitation development to award and contract administration—focusing on high-technology, defense-specific procurements that maintain air superiority and operational readiness. Quinn’s portfolio is centered on advanced aerospace systems, with an emphasis on carrier-based and expeditionary platforms requiring rigorous testing and logistics integration. He maintains consistent contracting relationships with leading defense prime contractors, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, partnering with firms that deliver advanced aircraft manufacturing, propulsion systems, and integrated mission systems. His working pattern reflects a preference for established industry leaders with proven capability in delivering complex, high-assurance aerospace solutions under strict DoD compliance standards. These relationships are built on technical rigor, performance accountability, and long-term sustainment support. Matthew Quinn’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects NAVAIR’s strategic emphasis on leveraging the broadest industrial base to meet urgent operational needs without socioeconomic restrictions, prioritizing technical merit, schedule reliability, and system performance over socioeconomic categorizations. His primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing) and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), indicating deep specialization in airframe integration, flight control systems, and mission-specific avionics. He routinely procures subsystems for fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms, including propulsion components, electronic warfare suites, and structural assemblies, demonstrating expertise in aerospace engineering standards and defense acquisition regulations.
