Matthew R. LeBlanc

Matthew R. LeBlanc serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize aerospace and space-based defense systems. His responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for electrical and specialty trade services essential to the operational readiness of guided missile systems, satellite communications infrastructure, and global positioning system components. LeBlanc ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement actions with strategic modernization priorities, frequently handling task and delivery order contracts under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to support rapid response and long-term sustainment needs. LeBlanc maintains collaborative relationships with a broad base of qualified contractors specializing in electrical installation and niche specialty trade services. While no single vendor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with small and mid-tier firms capable of delivering complex, site-specific infrastructure support for defense-critical facilities. His working pattern emphasizes performance-based contracting, technical validation, and rigorous contractor oversight to ensure mission continuity and system integrity across geographically dispersed locations. A staunch advocate for small business participation, LeBlanc prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with 80% of his acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and resilience within the defense industrial base by empowering small businesses, including those certified under 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB programs. His contracting patterns demonstrate a strong alignment with DoD’s small business goals, promoting equitable access to federal opportunities. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238210 (Electrical Contractors) and 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors), reflecting deep expertise in procuring specialized services such as wiring, grounding, conduit installation, and mission-critical facility upgrades. LeBlanc’s technical domain knowledge spans aerospace ground support systems, secure communications infrastructure, and space launch site utilities, ensuring acquisitions meet stringent military and security standards.
