Michelle Mattingly

Michelle Mattingly serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-apg Adelphi office of the Department of the Army, where she manages the acquisition of mission-critical scientific and engineering infrastructure to support advanced R&D in physical and applied sciences. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle procurement of high-precision laboratory instrumentation, electronic measurement systems, and secure computing environments essential to defense innovation. She plays a central role in aligning acquisition strategies with the agency’s technical priorities, ensuring that contracted solutions meet rigorous military standards for performance, reliability, and cybersecurity. Mattingly maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of specialized vendors, including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC for facility infrastructure, PHYSICAL ELECTRONICS USA, INC. for advanced sensor and vacuum system components, JAXON ENGINEERING AND MAINTENANCE LLC for maintenance and calibration services, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC for secure data systems, and ILLUMINA, INC. for genomic analysis hardware. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche technical suppliers capable of delivering customized, high-reliability solutions under strict compliance frameworks. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately two-thirds of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation through agile, specialized vendors, while maintaining compliance with socioeconomic procurement goals. She rarely utilizes no-set-aside mechanisms, underscoring her focus on expanding opportunities for small, technically capable firms. Her primary NAICS focus areas—327910 (abrasive product manufacturing), 333923 (overhead crane and hoist systems), and 484110 (local freight trucking)—reveal an operational need for specialized industrial components and logistics support tied to laboratory and facility modernization. These categories indicate expertise in procuring not only scientific equipment but also the heavy infrastructure and transport systems required to deploy and maintain advanced defense R&D environments.
