Kennon McPeters

Kennon McPeters serves as Business Manager for the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where he plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for critical aerospace and space-based sustainment programs. Responsible for aligning procurement strategy with operational readiness goals, McPeters oversees the solicitation, award, and administration of contracts supporting guided missile systems, satellite communications, and global positioning infrastructure. His acquisitions are primarily technical in nature, focusing on engineering services, research and development, and specialized technical consulting to ensure the longevity and modernization of national defense space and missile platforms. McPeters collaborates with a diverse range of defense contractors specializing in systems engineering, mission-critical software development, and advanced avionics integration. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, his procurement patterns reflect a preference for established defense technology firms with proven capabilities in aerospace sustainment and systems modernization. His working relationships are characterized by rigorous performance oversight, technical due diligence, and a focus on long-term vendor reliability rather than transactional engagements. McPeters’ contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a mission-driven prioritization of technical capability and operational urgency over socioeconomic preferences, though he remains compliant with all federal small business regulations. His approach emphasizes selecting the most qualified offerors regardless of business size, ensuring mission-critical systems receive the highest standards of engineering and sustainment support. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), 541712 (R&D in Physical and Engineering Sciences), and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services). He routinely procures advanced systems engineering, signal processing, navigation architecture design, and space vehicle sustainment services, demonstrating deep expertise in defense aerospace technical domains and mission-critical systems integration.
