Peter J Andrews

Peter J. Andrews serves as a procurement professional 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 acquisition of integrated security systems and protective services essential to safeguarding federal facilities across the eastern region. His portfolio centers on securing mission-critical infrastructure through the procurement of physical security solutions, surveillance technologies, and specialized personnel services. Andrews ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract awards with the agency’s strategic objectives for operational continuity and threat mitigation. He maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including GXC MAX INC, FLATTER, INC, and ENPROVERA CORP, which provide advanced security systems, monitoring services, and technical support solutions. These vendor partnerships are characterized by long-term performance-based contracts emphasizing reliability, scalability, and integration with existing federal security architectures. Andrews prioritizes vendors with proven expertise in deploying layered defense systems and maintaining compliance with DHS cybersecurity and physical security standards. His contracting approach reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 73.7% of awards issued without set-asides. However, he actively supports small business participation, allocating 26.3% of acquisitions to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to both efficiency and socioeconomic goals. While he does not prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a structured approach to fostering competitive small business engagement. Andrews’ primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334519 (Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing), reflecting his emphasis on advanced security hardware and sensor systems. He also routinely acquires services under NAICS 561621 (Security Systems Services) and NAICS 611310 (Colleges, Universities, and Professional Schools), indicating a strategic interest in both technological innovation and workforce development partnerships. His expertise spans physical security infrastructure, integrated surveillance platforms, and testing services critical to federal facility resilience.
