Audrey M Peterson

Audrey M. Peterson serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-rsa office of the Department of the Army, supporting the modernization and sustainment of critical aerial and missile defense systems. She manages complex acquisitions for aerospace components and mission-critical support services, with a focus on ensuring operational readiness for platforms such as the UH-60 Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache. Her portfolio encompasses the procurement of avionics, propulsion subsystems, sensor integration hardware, and auxiliary aircraft equipment, aligning directly with the agency’s mission to enhance battlefield air defense capabilities through cutting-edge aerospace technology. Peterson maintains strategic relationships with a broad base of defense aerospace manufacturers and Tier 1 systems integrators, consistently engaging vendors with proven expertise in military-grade component manufacturing and systems certification. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and lifecycle support, fostering long-term partnerships with firms capable of delivering high-reliability parts under stringent DoD quality standards. She prioritizes performance-based contracting and performance metrics to ensure mission-critical delivery timelines and system interoperability. Her procurement activity reflects a 100% non-set-aside orientation, indicating a preference for full and open competition driven by technical merit and industrial capacity rather than socioeconomic preferences. This approach underscores a focus on mission urgency and the need for scalable, high-performance solutions from the broadest possible industrial base. Her primary acquisition focus lies within NAICS 336413, encompassing the procurement of other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment—including flight control systems, power distribution units, and mission-specific avionics housings—with a secondary emphasis on NAICS 335312 for motor and generator components critical to rotorcraft and missile guidance systems. Peterson’s expertise centers on the integration of ruggedized electrical and electromechanical subsystems into combat aviation platforms, demonstrating deep technical fluency in military aerospace procurement standards and defense acquisition regulations.
