Peter Costantin

Peter Costantin serves as a Contract Specialist at W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, where he plays a critical role in executing acquisition strategies for ground combat and support vehicle systems under the Department of Defense. He manages the full lifecycle procurement of armored vehicle components, tactical wheeled platform systems, and associated ordnance infrastructure, ensuring alignment with Army modernization and sustainment priorities. His work encompasses complex contract actions including competitive sealed bidding, negotiated procurements, and performance-based service contracts, all designed to maintain operational readiness and technological superiority across the armored fleet. Costantin maintains consistent contracting relationships with key industrial partners including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, VAREC NV, ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, A&M AEROSTRUCTURES, INC., and BOWHEAD AVIONICS MANUFACTURING, LLC. These vendors provide specialized manufacturing, integration, and avionics capabilities critical to vehicle survivability, mobility, and powertrain systems. His contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and long-term sustainment support, fostering collaborative partnerships grounded in performance accountability and defense industrial base stability. While the majority of his acquisitions—approximately 80.5%—are conducted without set-asides, Costantin demonstrates a deliberate and sustained commitment to small business participation, with nearly 20% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced strategy that prioritizes mission-critical capability while actively engaging qualified small manufacturers in the defense supply chain. His procurement focus is heavily concentrated in NAICS 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle, Tank, and Tank Component Manufacturing), followed by 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing) and 336350 (Motor Vehicle Transmission and Power Train Parts Manufacturing). He specializes in acquiring hardened structural components, drivetrain systems, and integrated ordnance accessories, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with military vehicle engineering standards and defense-specific manufacturing requirements.
