Vincent E. Matner

Vincent E. Matner serves as a Contracting Officer within the Public Buildings Service’s PBS R11 Construction Services Division Center 2 (47PM02), part of the General Services Administration. He is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal construction and design acquisitions across the National Capital Region, with a focus on integrated design-build delivery models for high-visibility federal facilities. His portfolio centers on mission-critical infrastructure modernization, including renovations, new construction, and long-term facility operations support. Matner ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s strategic goals in placemaking and sustainable infrastructure development through competitively awarded contracts. Matner cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse base of prime contractors specializing in architectural design and commercial construction, including firms with proven expertise in design-build delivery and integrated project delivery (IPD) methodologies. He works closely with multidisciplinary teams of architects, engineers, and construction managers to align procurement outcomes with technical and operational requirements. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based specifications, early vendor engagement, and risk-sharing mechanisms to enhance project outcomes and accountability. Matner’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of his acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. While he does not currently utilize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his contracting practices are grounded in transparency, competitive fairness, and rigorous evaluation of technical capability and past performance. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541310 (Architectural Services), reflecting a deep specialization in design-phase contracting for federal buildings, followed by NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) for execution-phase work. He also procures specialized materials such as flat glass (NAICS 327211) for high-performance building envelopes. Matner’s expertise spans technical specification development, construction contract administration, and facility lifecycle integration, making him a key player in delivering resilient, code-compliant federal infrastructure.
