Matthew Schmidt

Matthew Schmidt serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R5 Acquisition Management Division, where he plays a pivotal role in executing federal facility acquisition strategies for construction, renovation, and building systems support services. He manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from solicitation and source selection to contract award and administration—ensuring compliance with FAR and GSA policies while advancing the agency’s mission to modernize and sustain federal infrastructure nationwide. His portfolio primarily encompasses interior renovations, mechanical and electrical system upgrades, and mission-critical facility operations, requiring precise coordination with design teams, facility managers, and federal stakeholders to deliver safe, efficient, and code-compliant outcomes. Schmidt maintains a consistent working relationship with McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, a trusted contractor with deep expertise in federal facility modifications and site development. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability, technical proficiency, and performance accountability, fostering long-term vendor partnerships built on transparency and adherence to quality standards. While he engages with a limited pool of pre-qualified contractors, his selection process prioritizes proven capability in complex building systems work and timely execution in occupied federal environments. Schmidt’s contracting activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside profile, indicating a focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This pattern suggests an operational emphasis on technical merit and contractor capacity over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with high-complexity, mission-critical requirements where specialized expertise takes precedence. His procurement activity is heavily concentrated in NAICS 238290 (Other Building Equipment Contractors), reflecting expertise in HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, and building automation systems integration. He also regularly procures landscaping services under NAICS 561730 to support site aesthetics and environmental compliance. His domain expertise centers on integrated facility upgrades requiring coordination between multiple trades, with a strong technical understanding of federal building codes, sustainability standards, and life-cycle maintenance requirements.
