Matthew Wernert

Matthew Wernert serves as a key procurement lead within the 0409 Aq Hq Contract office under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing facility sustainment and infrastructure support contracts critical to U.S. Army garrisons in Europe and other deployed theaters. He oversees the acquisition of essential services that maintain operational readiness, including building maintenance, utilities infrastructure, and specialized equipment servicing. His portfolio emphasizes non-construction, mission-critical support functions that ensure the continuity of military community operations, with a focus on reliability, compliance, and lifecycle sustainability of installation assets. Wernert maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of international and domestic vendors, including ING. LUDWIG FREITAG ELEKTRO-GMBH & CO. KG, BFRENCH CONSULTING LLC, APC AG, FREUND LANDMASCHINEN GMBH & CO. KG, and BB GOVERNMENT SERVICES GMBH. These partnerships reflect a preference for specialized service providers with proven technical expertise in military-grade facility operations, ranging from electrical systems and vehicle maintenance to laundry and transportation logistics. His contracting approach favors established contractors with demonstrated performance in austere or overseas environments, often relying on long-term, task-order-based agreements to ensure continuity of service. Wernert’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and operational readiness over socioeconomic preferences, prioritizing vendor qualifications and past performance in complex, mission-critical environments. While small business participation is not formally targeted, his contracting patterns remain compliant with all federal acquisition regulations and do not exclude eligible small businesses from competing on merit. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 561730 (Landscaping Services), 485999 (Other Transit Services), 812320 (Drycleaning and Laundry), 532420 (Office Equipment Leasing), and 811198 (Automotive Repair), indicating deep expertise in garrison quality-of-life and facility support services. He specializes in procuring turnkey, service-based solutions that sustain daily military operations in forward-deployed and overseas locations, ensuring compliance with U.S. Army installation standards and environmental regulations.
