Patricia Peterson

Patricia Peterson serves as a key procurement professional within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Energy Directorate, supporting the strategic acquisition of critical energy infrastructure and fuel supply chain services essential to global military readiness. She manages complex contractual actions under NAICS 324110, focusing on petroleum refining and related logistics capabilities that ensure uninterrupted fuel availability for DoD operations worldwide. Her work involves end-to-end acquisition planning, source selection, and contract administration for large-scale energy procurement initiatives aligned with national defense priorities. Her primary contractor relationships center on Qatar Fuel (WOQOD) and United Capital Investments Group, both of which provide specialized fuel production, storage, and distribution services under long-term, performance-based agreements. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, vertically integrated energy providers with proven global operational capacity and compliance with DoD fuel quality and security standards. Peterson’s contracting approach emphasizes reliability, supply chain resilience, and technical compliance over price alone, prioritizing mission-critical performance metrics in source evaluations. Patricia’s procurement portfolio exhibits no use of socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a deliberate strategy to maintain access to the highest-capacity industrial providers capable of meeting the scale, security, and operational tempo demands of military energy needs. While small business participation is not formally targeted, her actions remain fully compliant with FAR guidelines, ensuring transparency and fairness in all sourcing decisions. Her technical expertise lies exclusively in petroleum refining (NAICS 324110), encompassing the procurement of refined jet fuel, diesel, and other military-specification hydrocarbons, along with associated logistics and storage infrastructure. She operates at the intersection of defense logistics, energy security, and industrial supply chain management, ensuring that contracted capabilities meet stringent military specifications and global deployment requirements.
