Brendan Kittredge

Brendan Kittredge supports the operational and human capital missions of the Peace Corps Office of Administrative and Contract Management (OACM) by managing specialized procurement initiatives that enable global service delivery and institutional readiness. He oversees the acquisition of mission-critical services including cybersecurity infrastructure, data management systems, and professional training solutions, ensuring alignment with federal contracting regulations and Peace Corps’ commitment to volunteer safety and workforce resilience. His role centers on executing competitive solicitations under FAR Part 12 and Part 15, with a focus on performance-based contracting and outcome-driven requirements. Kittredge maintains a strategic working relationship with Biometrics4All, Inc., a key contractor providing biometric and identity verification services critical to volunteer screening and security protocols. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for specialized, niche vendors with technical expertise in digital identity, secure communications, and IT infrastructure support. He fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in compliance, innovation, and mission alignment, often engaging firms capable of rapid deployment in low-resource international environments. His contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong emphasis on small business participation, with 20% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of acquisitions are unrestricted, he consistently prioritizes opportunities for small businesses with proven capabilities in IT services, reflecting a deliberate effort to expand the agency’s supplier base and promote equitable access to federal contracts. Kittredge’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services) and 541519 (Other Computer-Related Services), with significant activity in computing infrastructure, data hosting, and satellite telecommunications. He regularly acquires secure software development, cloud-based data management, and digital identity solutions that underpin Peace Corps’ global communications and volunteer support systems, demonstrating deep expertise in mission-aligned IT modernization and operational technology procurement.
