Bill Peters

William Peters serves as a key procurement lead within the Alliance Sustainable Energy–DOECONTR, supporting the Department of Energy’s mission to advance next-generation energy technologies through strategic acquisition of research and development services. He manages a portfolio of contracts focused on physical and engineering sciences R&D, primarily overseeing the solicitation and award of technical services related to renewable energy systems, laboratory instrumentation, and energy-efficient building integration. His work directly enables the validation and scaling of innovative energy solutions, ensuring alignment with national security and sustainability objectives. Peters is deeply embedded in the agency’s technical acquisition lifecycle, from requirements definition through contract execution, with a strong emphasis on scientific rigor and performance-based outcomes. Peters collaborates with a broad spectrum of research institutions, national laboratories, and specialized engineering firms that possess deep expertise in energy systems modeling, grid integration, and advanced materials testing. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his contracting patterns reflect a preference for organizations with proven capabilities in DOE-funded research environments, including university-affiliated research centers and private-sector R&D contractors with prior DOE experience. His working relationships are characterized by long-term technical partnerships rather than transactional vendor engagements, emphasizing continuity, compliance, and technical fidelity. Peters’ contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects the highly specialized nature of the R&D requirements, which often demand technical capabilities not widely available among small or socioeconomic firms. While there is no formal preference for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his procurement strategy remains compliant with all federal small business policies and encourages participation where technical qualifications align. His primary focus is on NAICS 541715—Research and Development in the Physical, Engineering, and Life Sciences—where he procures services in solar and wind power system validation, energy storage diagnostics, and building energy modeling tools. His domain expertise centers on laboratory-scale prototyping, performance testing of energy systems, and the integration of smart grid technologies into federal infrastructure.
