Pedro Pacheco

Pedro Pacheco serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0414 AQ HQ Contracting Supply unit of the Department of the Army, supporting the logistical and administrative needs of U.S. Army personnel and their families stationed across Europe and Africa. In this role, he manages the full lifecycle of non-combat procurement actions, ensuring timely acquisition of essential services that sustain garrison operations and enhance quality of life. His portfolio focuses on mobility, transportation, and administrative support contracts critical to mission readiness in expeditionary and overseas environments. Pacheco works closely with program managers and stakeholders to align contracting strategies with operational priorities, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and Army-specific guidance. Pacheco maintains professional relationships with a diverse range of vendors specializing in niche support services, including transportation providers, language service contractors, and specialty trade firms. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, his procurement patterns reflect a preference for responsive, service-oriented vendors capable of operating in complex international environments. He fosters collaborative partnerships grounded in performance-based contracting, emphasizing accountability, flexibility, and cultural competency in vendor delivery. Pacheco’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic agency priority to maximize competition and operational efficiency rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, his approach ensures broad market access and value-driven outcomes consistent with DoD acquisition policy. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 485320 (Limousine Service), 541930 (Translation and Interpretation Services), and 238990 (All Other Specialty Trade Contractors). These categories underscore his expertise in securing mobility solutions, multilingual communication support, and specialized facility maintenance services critical to sustaining overseas garrisons. Pacheco’s technical domain centers on non-combat logistics, cultural adaptation, and service delivery in multinational environments.
