Anthony W. Pellegrino

Anthony W. Pellegrino serves as a key procurement professional within GSA’s Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) Region 1, where he plays a central role in securing mission-critical technical equipment and specialized services for federal agencies engaged in national security and public safety operations. His work centers on acquiring advanced communications systems, CBRN defense gear, protective apparel, and technical support services essential for high-risk operational environments. Pellegrino manages complex acquisitions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15 procedures, ensuring compliance with federal standards while aligning procurements with agency mission priorities across defense, emergency response, and federal infrastructure sectors. Pellegrino maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse array of vendors, including established defense contractors, niche technology suppliers, and small businesses specializing in ruggedized communications hardware and CBRN protective systems. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in federal compliance, technical certification, and rapid deployment capabilities. He frequently engages with firms capable of delivering integrated solutions that combine hardware, software, and technical support under performance-based contracting frameworks. A strong advocate for socioeconomic inclusion, Pellegrino consistently prioritizes small business participation, with over 31% of his acquisitions set aside for total small businesses and nearly 12% reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses. He also actively leverages HUBZone and other set-aside programs to expand market access for underserved communities, aligning procurement outcomes with federal socioeconomic goals. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 423430 for computer and peripheral equipment, 541330 for engineering services, and 541690 for technical consulting, reflecting deep expertise in acquiring ruggedized IT infrastructure, cybersecurity-enabled communications systems, and mission-specific engineering support. Pellegrino’s work ensures federal entities receive reliable, interoperable, and secure technologies tailored to the demands of high-stakes operational environments.
