Nicholas S Peters

Nicholas S. Peters supports the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support (NAVSUP WSS) in procuring mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components essential to sustaining U.S. Navy weapon systems. He manages acquisition programs focused on high-reliability machinery, precision valve and pumping assemblies, bare printed circuit boards, and specialized instrumentation for naval platforms. His work directly enables the maintenance, repair, and modernization of advanced naval systems, ensuring operational readiness through timely procurement of technically complex, defense-grade components under strict quality and compliance standards. Peters maintains consistent contracting relationships with industry leaders including Raytheon Company, AMD International Technologies LLC, and The Entwistle Company LLC, reflecting a preference for established defense contractors with proven capabilities in aerospace-grade manufacturing and subsystem integration. His procurement patterns emphasize long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical expertise, supply chain resilience, and compliance with military specifications, with a focus on firms capable of delivering certified, traceable components for harsh maritime environments. His contracting activity shows minimal use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 98.5% of awards issued under open competition. While small business participation is limited to approximately 1.5% of total awards, this reflects the specialized nature of the procurements rather than a lack of commitment—most requirements demand Tier 1 suppliers with DoD-qualified manufacturing facilities and ITAR/EAR compliance infrastructure that exceed typical small business capacity. Peters’ primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333998, encompassing miscellaneous general-purpose machinery such as hydraulic actuators and mechanical control systems, complemented by targeted acquisitions in bare PCB manufacturing (334412), test instrumentation (334515), and mission-critical navigation systems (334511). His technical domain expertise centers on high-integrity electromechanical subsystems used in naval ordnance, propulsion, and sensor arrays, requiring deep familiarity with MIL-STD, AS9100, and IPC standards for defense electronics and mechanical assemblies.
