Matthew Robertson

Matthew Robertson serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions of professional, scientific, and technical services critical to national security operations. His responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, and managing contract award and administration processes for high-priority R&D and systems engineering initiatives. Robertson specializes in procurements that support cybersecurity, physical science research, and engineering services essential to maintaining operational readiness across DHS mission components. Robertson collaborates with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in custom software development, systems engineering, and management consulting services. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with firms possessing deep technical expertise in federal IT modernization, risk assessment frameworks, and mission-critical infrastructure support. His working relationships are characterized by a focus on performance-based contracting, clear statement of work development, and rigorous compliance with FAR and DHS acquisition policies. Robertson’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of his acquisitions classified as non-set-aside. This indicates a strategic emphasis on selecting the most technically qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, though he remains compliant with all small business outreach and reporting requirements under federal guidelines. His primary NAICS focus areas—541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting)—reveal a specialization in procurements involving software development lifecycle support, process optimization for federal systems, and expert technical advisory services. He routinely sources solutions in cybersecurity architecture, data analytics platforms, and engineering consulting services that directly enable DHS’s mission to safeguard critical infrastructure and advance technological resilience.
