Peter J Andrews

Peter J. Andrews serves as a Contracting Officer within the FPS East CCG Division 3 Acq Division under the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations, where he manages the acquisition of critical security infrastructure to protect federal facilities. His portfolio centers on manned security operations, integrated surveillance systems, and specialized electronic monitoring equipment, ensuring compliance with federal security standards and operational readiness. Andrews oversees the full lifecycle of procurements—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—focusing on high-integrity, mission-critical solutions that enhance physical and technological defense capabilities across federal sites. He maintains strong, recurring relationships with key vendors including Simmons & Golden Security LLC and GXC MAX INC, both of which provide comprehensive security services and advanced surveillance technologies. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in integrated security systems, video analytics, and protective equipment manufacturing, indicating a reliance on vendors capable of delivering scalable, interoperable solutions under stringent federal compliance frameworks. Andrews exhibits a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly 44% of his awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a consistent commitment to small business participation. While the majority of his acquisitions remain open to all competitors, his active use of small business set-asides underscores a deliberate strategy to foster competition and expand the base of qualified vendors supporting homeland security missions. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), reflecting a strong emphasis on electronic security and surveillance devices, complemented by significant activity in NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services). He routinely acquires surveillance hardware, access control systems, and integrated monitoring platforms, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with the engineering and operational requirements of federal facility protection systems.
