Peter J Andrews

Peter J. Andrews serves as a Contracting Officer within the Federal Protective Service East CCG Division 1 Acquisition Division, part of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. He is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions to secure protective security services and integrated surveillance systems essential to federal facility safety. His portfolio emphasizes the acquisition of personnel services, security technology, and operational support solutions aligned with DHS mission priorities. Andrews routinely handles task orders, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contracts, and performance-based service acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, ensuring compliance with federal security standards and operational readiness requirements. Andrews maintains consistent contracting relationships with key vendors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, which provide specialized security training, facility protection services, and integrated surveillance solutions. His working patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven track records in federal security environments, often leveraging existing contract vehicles to streamline acquisition timelines. He prioritizes vendors capable of delivering scalable, compliant, and technologically advanced security systems tailored to federal infrastructure needs. While the majority of his acquisitions (71.4%) are unrestricted, Andrews consistently supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides (28.6%), primarily under FAR 19.5. He demonstrates a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting by structuring opportunities accessible to small businesses without imposing narrow set-aside categories like 8(a) or HUBZone, favoring broad-based small business eligibility to encourage competition and innovation. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 611430 (Professional and Management Development Training), reflecting a strong emphasis on security personnel certification and operational readiness training. He also frequently procures services under NAICS 561499 (Business Support Services) and NAICS 336120 (Heavy Duty Truck Manufacturing), indicating a need for specialized transport and logistics support for security operations. Additional activity in NAICS 561611 and 334511 underscores his expertise in background investigation services and advanced detection systems, positioning him as a specialist in holistic federal security procurement.
