Eliad Peretz

Eliad Peretz serves as a key procurement professional at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, supporting the acquisition of advanced space systems and scientific instrumentation critical to Earth observation and deep-space missions. Responsible for managing complex contracts under the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Peretz specializes in the procurement of guided missile and space vehicle components, ensuring alignment with NASA’s strategic goals in spacecraft development, sensor integration, and space telecommunications. Their work directly enables the deployment of cutting-edge platforms for climate monitoring, planetary exploration, and space weather research, requiring deep technical understanding of aerospace subsystems and mission-critical hardware. Peretz maintains consistent procurement relationships with high-caliber technical partners, including Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lincoln Laboratory. These collaborations reflect a preference for established aerospace contractors with proven capabilities in space-grade manufacturing, embedded systems, and mission-specific instrumentation. The working relationships are characterized by long-term technical alignment, rigorous compliance with NASA engineering standards, and a focus on innovation in space hardware development rather than commercial off-the-shelf solutions. There is no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-critical focus on technical superiority and schedule certainty, prioritizing proven performance and system reliability over socioeconomic criteria. Small business participation is not structurally incentivized in this portfolio, indicating a procurement strategy centered on mission assurance and technical risk mitigation. The primary NAICS classification is 336419, indicating exclusive focus on the procurement of specialized space vehicle parts and auxiliary equipment. This includes guidance systems, radiation-hardened electronics, propulsion subsystems, and telemetry interfaces designed for extreme space environments. Peretz’s expertise lies in acquiring highly engineered, non-commercial components essential to the integrity and functionality of NASA’s orbital and deep-space missions.
