Matt Rowe

MSgt Matthew Rowe serves as a secondary contracting representative within the FA3010 81st Contracting Squadron, supporting the Department of the Air Force’s mission to sustain and modernize critical infrastructure and medical readiness systems. Though not the lead contracting officer, he plays a vital role in executing acquisition strategies for facility upgrades, environmental systems, and diagnostic equipment procurement. His responsibilities include coordinating contract administration, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and facilitating interdepartmental alignment on infrastructure modernization initiatives. He typically handles task orders and delivery orders under basic ordering agreements, with a focus on construction, maintenance, and technical services essential to operational readiness. Rowe maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, MARK DUNNING INDUSTRIES, VETERAN ELEVATED SOLUTIONS, LLC, TRIPOD CONSTRUCTION SERVICES, LLC, and SDVO MONITORING SERVICES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for experienced, niche providers capable of delivering specialized construction, facility maintenance, and monitoring services tailored to Air Force base environments. His procurement patterns indicate a reliance on repeat vendors with proven performance in military infrastructure projects, suggesting a strong emphasis on reliability, compliance, and mission-specific technical capability. His contracting portfolio reflects a pronounced commitment to small business participation, with over 57% of acquisitions set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, and a notable 3.3% dedicated to service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. This pattern underscores a deliberate alignment with Department of Defense socioeconomic goals, prioritizing opportunities for small, veteran-led, and locally rooted firms while maintaining flexibility for non-set-aside procurements when necessary. Rowe’s procurement activity centers on niche NAICS codes including 337214 (office furniture manufacturing), 335999 (miscellaneous electrical components), 562991 (septic tank services), and 532111 (passenger car rental), reflecting a broad yet targeted approach to supporting base operations. His technical domain expertise spans facility maintenance systems, environmental infrastructure, and ancillary logistical services critical to sustaining Air Force installations.
