Peter G. McCorkle

Peter G. McCorkle serves as a Contract Specialist within the Strategic Systems Programs (N00030) under the Department of the Navy, where he plays a pivotal role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for critical national security systems. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, awarding, and administering contracts for engineering and technical services essential to the development, integration, and sustainment of the U.S. Navy’s sea-based strategic deterrent. McCorkle specializes in complex, high-stakes procurements involving systems engineering, test and evaluation, and command, control, and communications infrastructure, ensuring compliance with defense acquisition regulations and mission-critical performance standards. He maintains longstanding relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Northrop Grumman Systems Corporation, General Dynamics Mission Systems, Inc., Systems Planning and Analysis, Inc., and JRC Integrated Systems, LLC. These partnerships are characterized by deep technical collaboration on classified and unclassified programs requiring stringent security protocols, rigorous systems integration, and sustained engineering support. McCorkle consistently engages these industry leaders to deliver advanced capabilities aligned with strategic deterrence objectives, fostering a contractor ecosystem built on technical excellence and reliability. McCorkle’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% preference for full and open competition, with no set-asides designated for 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or other socioeconomic categories. This approach prioritizes access to the highest-tier technical expertise required for mission-critical systems, aligning with the unique demands of strategic weapons programs where scale, security, and performance are non-negotiable. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), encompassing systems engineering, technical analysis, software development, and integration support for nuclear deterrent platforms. He routinely procures advanced engineering solutions for submarine-launched ballistic missile systems, weapons integration, and secure communication architectures, demonstrating deep expertise in defense systems acquisition and lifecycle management.
