Peggy A Richter

Peggy A. Richter serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center (N68936), where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions for advanced naval aviation systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract management—from requirements validation and solicitation development to award administration and performance oversight—for complex electronics, avionics, and mission-critical software solutions. She supports the agency’s strategic imperatives in airborne command and control, sensor integration, and next-generation avionics modernization, ensuring acquisitions align with DoN technical standards and defense acquisition regulations. Richter specializes in high-technology, non-developmental item (NDI) and commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) procurements that directly enable operational readiness and system interoperability across naval air platforms. Richter maintains longstanding relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Teya Support Services LLC, and Kranze Technology Solutions Inc. These partnerships are characterized by deep technical collaboration, with vendors frequently engaged in systems integration, test and evaluation support, and specialized engineering services for airborne platforms. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and rigorous technical evaluation, fostering trust-based vendor relationships built on compliance, innovation, and mission alignment. Richter’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% preference for unrestricted, open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This reflects the highly specialized, technically demanding nature of the acquisitions she manages, where mission-critical performance and proprietary technology integration often necessitate qualified large-tier defense contractors with established DoD clearance and systems engineering capabilities. Her primary NAICS focus is 335999—All Other Miscellaneous Electrical Equipment and Component Manufacturing—indicating a specialization in procuring custom electrical subsystems, embedded hardware, sensor interfaces, and mission-specific avionics components. She routinely manages acquisitions for ruggedized electronics, signal processing units, and integrated communication modules that support advanced naval air systems, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains of aerospace electronics and mission systems integration.
