Donald Peters serves as a Contract Specialist within the 6982AF Central Federal Lands Division of the Federal Highway Administration, where he manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for critical transportation infrastructure projects on federally managed lands. His responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, evaluating proposals, negotiating contract terms, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations for highway, bridge, and civil engineering works. He plays a pivotal role in executing the agency’s mission to maintain safe, resilient, and sustainable access to national parks, forests, and Native American territories through timely and technically sound contracting solutions. Peters maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including MARTIN BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION, MCCULLOUGH CONSTRUCTION INC., WEST COAST CONTRACTORS, INC., S.T. RHODES CONSTRUCTION INCORPORATED, and SEB ENGINEERING INC. These firms are regularly engaged for complex civil construction tasks requiring specialized expertise in remote-site logistics, heavy highway construction, and structural bridge work. His procurement approach emphasizes proven performance, technical capability, and adherence to federal engineering standards, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in reliability and regulatory compliance. All of Peters’ acquisitions are conducted under open competition with no set-asides, reflecting a strategic focus on maximizing technical capacity and operational readiness across large-scale infrastructure projects. While socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are not utilized in his portfolio, this reflects the specialized nature of the work rather than a lack of small business engagement elsewhere in the agency. His contracting patterns prioritize mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic preferences. His procurement activity is exclusively focused on NAICS 237310—Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction—encompassing earthwork, pavement systems, drainage structures, retaining walls, and related civil works. He possesses deep domain expertise in federal transportation construction standards, project specifications, and safety protocols essential for operating in sensitive environmental and tribal lands.
