Matthew S. Carman

Matthew S. Carman serves as a Contract Administrator for the FA4418 628 Cons Pk unit under the Department of the Air Force, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of mission-critical facility support acquisitions. He ensures compliance with FAR and DOD contracting regulations while executing procurements that sustain and modernize infrastructure at Joint Base Charleston and associated installations. His portfolio includes construction, maintenance, and mission-enabling services essential to airfield readiness, utility systems, and environmental compliance, with a focus on timely, low-risk contract execution to support operational continuity. Carman maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for site development and infrastructure upgrades, PROTECT KITCHEN EXHAUST CLEANING, LLC for facility hygiene compliance, ACCESS PORTABLE TOILETS INC for temporary sanitation solutions, and ML Armaments LLC for security-related equipment. These partnerships reflect a pragmatic approach to vendor selection, prioritizing proven performers with demonstrated capability in niche, high-reliability service categories critical to base operations. His procurement patterns show a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with approximately one-third of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate commitment to small business engagement. The majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, reflecting a preference for competitive neutrality where small business participation is not mandated by mission necessity. Carman’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), 561710 (Exterminating and Pest Control Services), and 813212 (Voluntary Health Organizations), underscoring a diverse technical domain that spans IT infrastructure support, environmental health compliance, and mission-aligned ancillary services. This reflects a unique blend of facility sustainment, public health, and digital modernization needs within a high-security military environment.
