Scott Matsui

Scott Matsui serves as Program Manager for the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where he leads the acquisition and sustainment of critical aerospace and space-based systems essential to national defense. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle procurement of satellite communications infrastructure, global positioning system components, and associated command, control, and communications (C3) technologies. He ensures operational readiness through strategic contracting for modernization, maintenance, and upgrade initiatives that support space domain awareness and secure global communications. Matsui’s portfolio is centered on mission-critical, high-availability systems requiring rigorous technical compliance and long-term sustainment planning. Matsui collaborates with a broad spectrum of defense aerospace contractors specializing in satellite payload integration, ground station modernization, and secure waveform development. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, his procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with Tier-1 defense primes and niche technology providers possessing specialized expertise in space systems engineering and RF communications. His working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, technical oversight, and risk mitigation through robust contract administration and systems engineering support. Matsui’s contracting activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of procurements conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven priority to access the broadest possible industrial base capable of meeting the stringent technical and security requirements of space and missile sustainment programs. While small business participation is not formally incentivized through socioeconomic set-asides, his team maintains compliance with all federal small business goals through subcontracting plans and supplier diversity initiatives where contract structure permits. His primary procurement focus is NAICS 517410—Satellite Telecommunications—encompassing the acquisition of satellite transponders, secure uplink/downlink systems, phased array antennas, and ground control segment modernization. He specializes in procuring classified and unclassified space communications payloads, signal processing hardware, and integrated C3 architectures that support Department of the Air Force space operations, with deep technical familiarity in GPS modernization, military satellite communications (MILSATCOM), and space-based ISR infrastructure.
