Peter Giambone

Peter Giambone serves as the primary contracting lead within the Mission Support Contracting Division of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, where he oversees the acquisition of mission-critical assets and services essential to sustaining frontline border security operations. His portfolio centers on procuring specialized equipment for canine detection units, advanced analytical instrumentation for threat detection, and logistical support systems that ensure operational readiness. He manages a diverse range of contract actions—including firm-fixed-price, time-and-materials, and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity instruments—to secure high-reliability goods and services aligned with CBP’s national security mandate. His role is pivotal in translating operational needs into compliant, efficient procurement outcomes that directly support agent safety and mission effectiveness. Giambone maintains consistent relationships with key vendors including VISTA OUTDOOR SALES LLC, LABVANTAGE SOLUTIONS INC, ATLANTIC DIVING SUPPLY, INC., L3 TECHNOLOGIES, INC., and FOSTER & FREEMAN USA INC. These partnerships reflect a focus on suppliers with proven expertise in defense-grade equipment, forensic analytics platforms, and mission-critical logistics. He engages primarily with established defense and technical contractors capable of meeting stringent federal specifications, often requiring certification under MIL-STD, ITAR, or other regulatory frameworks. His contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and rigorous technical validation. His contracting patterns show a strong preference for open competition, with 96.7% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions. While small business participation is minimal at 3.3%, it is strategically aligned with full and open competition, indicating a focus on capability over socioeconomic categorization. He does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing vendor qualifications and mission-critical delivery. Giambone’s primary NAICS focus includes 621999 for veterinary and canine health services, 541512 for computer systems design supporting detection analytics, and 541612 for human resources consulting tied to workforce sustainment. He also procures specialized instrumentation under 334511, including trace detection devices and chemical sensors. His domain expertise lies at the intersection of biological support systems, forensic technology, and operational logistics, ensuring CBP’s canine and detection programs remain technologically advanced and operationally resilient.
