Matthew Weber

LCDR Matthew Weber serves as a procurement specialist within the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (00040) of the U.S. Coast Guard, where he manages acquisition programs critical to sustaining and modernizing the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts for vessel maintenance, repair, and operational infrastructure support, ensuring the readiness and endurance of cutters and auxiliary systems. He operates under the Department of Homeland Security’s broader mission to maintain maritime security and operational resilience, with a focus on lifecycle management of naval assets. Weber routinely handles complex service-based acquisitions requiring technical oversight and compliance with federal maritime standards. Weber maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors, including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These vendors provide essential marine services such as electrical system upgrades, hull repairs, propulsion maintenance, and dry-dock operations. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical proficiency, quality assurance, and adherence to Coast Guard engineering specifications, fostering reliable, repeat business with firms possessing proven maritime expertise. Weber’s contracting activity reflects a 100% preference for non-set-aside awards, indicating a procurement strategy prioritizing technical capability and mission-critical performance over socioeconomic classifications. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his portfolio consistently selects vendors based on demonstrated competence in complex marine systems, aligning with operational urgency and regulatory compliance requirements. His primary procurement focus is under NAICS 561790 (Other Services to Buildings and Dwellings), which in this context encompasses specialized marine facility and vessel support services. This includes shipyard maintenance, dockside repairs, environmental compliance services, and infrastructure upgrades critical to operational continuity. Weber’s expertise lies in managing technically demanding, non-standard service contracts requiring deep domain knowledge of Coast Guard vessel systems and maritime regulatory frameworks.
