Matthew T. Weller

Matthew T. Weller serves as a Contracts Specialist within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where he manages the acquisition of advanced test and evaluation systems critical to aerospace mission readiness. His portfolio focuses on procuring high-precision sensing, communication, and instrumentation technologies for avionics, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence platforms. Weller ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract actions with the agency’s strategic goals of modernizing test infrastructure and enhancing electromagnetic compatibility across defense systems. He handles a mix of research, engineering, and specialized manufacturing contracts, often involving complex technical requirements and performance-based specifications. Weller maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of niche technology providers, specialized engineering firms, and construction contractors capable of delivering ruggedized instrumentation, test fixtures, and mission-critical hardware. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, technical specificity, and proven performance in austere environments, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in clear deliverables and compliance with military standards. Weller demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business eligibility, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand the industrial base and leverage innovative capabilities from non-traditional defense suppliers. While no specific socioeconomic set-asides dominate, his portfolio supports broad small business engagement aligned with Air Force objectives for resilience and diversification. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541715 for research and development in physical and engineering sciences, alongside significant activity in engineering services (541330). He frequently acquires custom test equipment, signal processing systems, and specialized instrumentation—often requiring electromagnetic compatibility, data acquisition, and real-time control capabilities—reflecting deep technical expertise in aerospace test and evaluation domains.
