Peter J. Haschytz II

Peter J. Haschytz II supports critical procurement operations for the W6QK Acc Wva, a key component of the U.S. Army’s Watervliet Arsenal under the Department of Defense. In his capacity, he manages acquisitions essential to sustaining the readiness and modernization of artillery and munitions systems, with a focus on high-precision metal components, industrial machinery, and specialized manufacturing equipment. His work directly enables the production, repair, and maintenance of mission-critical ordnance systems, ensuring the Army’s long-term operational capability through strategic sourcing of forged steel, rolled shapes, and heavy industrial machinery. He routinely oversees complex contract actions under FAR Part 15, emphasizing technical compliance and lifecycle support for defense-grade manufacturing assets. Haschytz collaborates closely with a select group of specialized contractors, including FinCANTIERI Marine Repair LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and RDC JPA Architecture, L.L.L.P., among others. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in heavy industrial maintenance, facility modernization, and precision metal fabrication. His contracting patterns indicate a reliance on established, technically capable firms capable of meeting stringent military specifications, with an emphasis on performance-based outcomes and long-term service agreements rather than commodity procurement. His procurement portfolio reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 84.6% of awards issued without set-asides, indicating a priority on technical capability over socioeconomic preferences. Nevertheless, he consistently allocates 15.4% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical requirements. His primary NAICS focus lies in Iron and Steel Forging (332111), with significant activity in Machine Tool Manufacturing (333517), Rolled Steel Shape Manufacturing (331221), and related industrial sectors. He procures high-integrity components for ordnance systems, including custom-forged parts, precision machining equipment, and specialized heating and refrigeration systems for production environments, underscoring deep technical expertise in defense manufacturing supply chains.
