Pedro Costas

LTC Pedro Costas serves as a secondary procurement lead within the W6QM Micc-ft Irwin, a critical unit under the Department of the Army responsible for sustaining operational readiness at Fort Irwin, California. In this capacity, he supports the acquisition of essential infrastructure and logistical enablers, with a primary focus on sanitation, waste management, and facility maintenance services in austere, remote environments. His role involves coordinating contract execution for mission-critical support systems that ensure hygiene standards and environmental compliance under demanding field conditions. He typically handles service-based acquisitions under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, often working in tandem with primary contracting officers to ensure timely delivery of essential operational sustainment capabilities. While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, LTC Costas engages with a diverse vendor base specializing in military-grade sanitation systems, septic infrastructure, and auxiliary manufacturing support. His procurement approach emphasizes reliability and compliance with military environmental standards, fostering partnerships with firms capable of delivering durable, field-deployable solutions under tight operational timelines. Vendor engagement is characterized by a preference for technical proficiency in remote-site service delivery and adherence to DoD sustainability protocols. LTC Costas exhibits a balanced commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with equal emphasis on open competitions and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides. His pattern reflects a deliberate effort to integrate qualified veteran-owned enterprises into the sustainment supply chain, aligning with Army-wide goals for veteran economic inclusion and small business resilience. He consistently prioritizes SDVOSB eligibility in solicitation planning, demonstrating institutional support for veteran entrepreneurship in defense logistics. His primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 562991 (Septic Tank and Related Services) and 339999 (All Other Miscellaneous Manufacturing), reflecting expertise in specialized waste containment systems, modular sanitation units, and non-standardized equipment critical to forward operating bases. This technical domain requires deep familiarity with military environmental regulations, hazardous material handling, and field-deployable infrastructure, positioning him as a key steward of hygiene and operational continuity in austere theaters.
