Paul Peria

Paul Peria serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-apg office under the Department of the Army (W91CRB), responsible for managing complex acquisitions of advanced sensing, communications, and battlefield analytics systems. He plays a central role in executing the agency’s mission to field next-generation intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities, with a focus on aeronautical instrumentation, radio frequency platforms, and tactical data systems. His portfolio includes high-technology contracts for specialized equipment used in military testing, signal interception, and real-time battlefield data processing, ensuring alignment with Army modernization priorities in electronic warfare and networked warfare environments. Peria maintains a broad network of industrial partners, primarily engaging manufacturers of precision instrumentation, motor and generator systems, and military-grade electrical components. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, he consistently works with firms possessing deep expertise in defense-grade engineering, including those certified for ITAR compliance and DoD supply chain security. His contracting approach emphasizes technical capability, performance reliability, and compliance with military standards such as MIL-STD and IEEE specifications, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in innovation and quality assurance. His procurement strategy reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of awards issued under non-set-aside categories, indicating a focus on technical merit over socioeconomic classifications. This approach prioritizes mission-critical performance and system interoperability over socioeconomic targeting, though small businesses remain eligible and competitive within the open market. Peria’s primary NAICS focus lies in Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing (333618), Instrument Manufacturing for Measuring and Testing Electricity and Electrical Signals (334515), and Motor and Generator Manufacturing (335312), reflecting his specialization in ruggedized sensors, signal conditioning hardware, and mission-critical power systems. He routinely procures embedded electronics, RF transceivers, and telemetry instrumentation used in unmanned systems, ground vehicle platforms, and field-deployable command nodes.
