Chris Pegg

Chris Pegg serves as the primary contracting lead for the W6QK Acc-ri under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the acquisition of critical industrial base capabilities essential to Army ordnance and battlefield readiness. He oversees the procurement of precision-machined components, munitions-related hardware, and specialized metal fabrication services that sustain the lifecycle of weapons systems and ammunition production infrastructure. His portfolio centers on mission-critical manufacturing and maintenance contracts that directly support the Army’s modernization and sustainment objectives, ensuring reliable access to high-integrity industrial supply chains. Pegg maintains consistent partnerships with key contractors including AMD International Technologies LLC, Faxon Machining, LLC, Palantir USG Inc., and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, all of which provide specialized machining, tooling, and advanced fabrication services. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration with firms possessing proven technical expertise in precision manufacturing and defense-grade quality systems. He prioritizes vendors with NADCAP or AS9100 certifications and frequently engages suppliers with demonstrated capability in high-tolerance metalworking and defense-compliant production environments. Pegg’s procurement strategy is fully aligned with small business set-aside mandates, with 100% of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate and consistent commitment to fostering small business participation across the industrial base, ensuring that niche manufacturers with specialized capabilities in metal forming, cutting tools, and abrasive products have equitable access to Army contracts. His pattern of awarding exclusively to small businesses underscores a strategic emphasis on building resilient, decentralized supply chains. His technical focus lies primarily in NAICS 327910 (abrasive product manufacturing), 333515 (cutting tool and machine tool accessory manufacturing), and 331420 (copper rolling and alloying), reflecting deep expertise in metalworking and precision component production. He procures high-specification machined parts, tooling inserts, extruded copper alloys, and abrasive-based systems critical to ordnance assembly, maintenance, and battlefield equipment reliability.
