Pete Jones

Pete Jones serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional, scientific, and technical services acquisitions. In this role, he ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical objectives through transparent, competitive procurement processes. His portfolio centers on complex, non-construction services requiring specialized expertise, including consulting, research, analytical support, and technical advisory services. He works closely with program managers to define requirements, structure solicitations, and evaluate proposals, ensuring that acquisitions align with agency priorities and statutory obligations. While no specific contractor relationships are identified in available data, Jones engages with a broad spectrum of qualified vendors, including large professional services firms and small businesses capable of delivering high-skill technical solutions. His approach emphasizes fair and open competition, fostering relationships grounded in performance, compliance, and accountability. He maintains a consistent focus on ensuring vendor responsiveness to evolving technical demands and regulatory standards. Jones exhibits a strong preference for open, unrestricted competitions, with 100% of his acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This reflects a strategic emphasis on selecting the most technically capable and cost-effective offerors without socioeconomic restrictions, prioritizing outcome-driven results over set-aside classifications. His contracting patterns indicate a deliberate focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic targeting, while still adhering to all applicable small business advocacy requirements. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541990—All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services—encompassing a wide array of specialized services such as policy analysis, data science, systems engineering, and technical staffing solutions. He routinely procures high-value, knowledge-based services requiring advanced subject matter expertise, demonstrating deep familiarity with the dynamics of the professional services market and the evolving needs of federal mission support.
