Abigail d. Peregrino

Abigail D. Peregrino serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions within the maritime and shipbuilding sectors. She ensures compliance with federal procurement regulations, including FAR and DFARS, and plays a critical role in translating mission requirements into legally sound, competitively awarded contracts. Her work supports the development and maintenance of naval and commercial vessel capabilities, coordinating with technical stakeholders, legal advisors, and acquisition teams to deliver mission-critical maritime assets. Peregrino typically handles complex, multi-year contracts for new construction, repair, and modernization of vessels, requiring deep familiarity with technical specifications, inspection protocols, and delivery schedule management. While specific contractor names are not available, Peregrino consistently engages with a diverse pool of vendors specializing in shipbuilding and boat manufacturing, including both large prime contractors and small business subcontractors. Her procurement approach emphasizes transparency, competitive bidding, and performance-based contracting, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability and quality assurance. She actively promotes collaboration between prime contractors and small business suppliers to ensure robust supply chain resilience. Peregrino demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with an equal split between open competitions and Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She prioritizes small business participation without reliance on other set-aside programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, indicating a strategic focus on broad-based small business engagement within the maritime industry. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small manufacturers capable of meeting stringent maritime standards. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and 336612 (Boat Building), where she acquires a range of vessels—from patrol boats and workboats to specialized maritime platforms. Her technical expertise includes familiarity with naval architecture, marine propulsion systems, and compliance with Coast Guard and ABS certification standards, positioning her as a subject matter expert in maritime acquisition programs.
