Matthew Reed

Matthew Reed supports the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) in managing critical procurement activities aligned with national security and personnel vetting missions. He oversees the acquisition of services essential to securing the defense industrial base, including background investigations, cybersecurity support, and digital identity verification systems. His procurement portfolio focuses on ensuring the integrity of cleared personnel and the resilience of sensitive government systems, with an emphasis on contract vehicles that enable rapid, compliant, and scalable delivery of mission-critical solutions. Reed works closely with program offices to translate operational requirements into solicitation strategies that meet stringent federal compliance standards. Reed maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including SWISH DATA CORPORATION, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, SPATHE SYSTEMS LLC, ROCKWOOD COMPANY LLC, and IDEMIA IDENTITY & SECURITY USA LLC. These partnerships center on high-assurance personnel screening, biometric authentication, secure data processing, and infrastructure protection services. His contracting approach prioritizes vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade security protocols and federal compliance frameworks, fostering long-term collaborations that emphasize performance, auditability, and interoperability across classified and unclassified environments. Reed’s procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued without set-aside designations. This reflects a mission-driven focus on leveraging the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors capable of meeting the DCSA’s rigorous technical and security requirements. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic programs, all vendors are evaluated on technical merit, past performance, and compliance readiness, ensuring that contract awards align with national security imperatives over socioeconomic categorization. The majority of his acquisitions fall under NAICS 511210 (Software Publishers), reflecting a heavy emphasis on secure software platforms for vetting workflows and digital identity management. A significant portion also aligns with NAICS 561611 (Investigation and Personal Background Check Services), underscoring his specialization in end-to-end personnel clearance systems. His technical domain expertise lies in secure data analytics, automated adjudication tools, and integrated biometric authentication systems critical to modernizing the federal clearance process.
