Peter J. Haschytz II

Peter J. Haschytz serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc Wva under the Department of the Army’s W911PT organization, where he plays a pivotal role in securing critical industrial capabilities to sustain the readiness of U.S. Army artillery and munitions systems. He manages the full lifecycle of complex acquisitions for precision metal components, machine tools, and industrial equipment essential to ordnance production at Watervliet Arsenal. His portfolio encompasses procurement actions for manufacturing, maintenance, and repair services, requiring deep technical understanding of metallurgical processes and industrial engineering standards. Haschytz ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract strategies with the Army’s modernization and sustainment priorities. He maintains established working relationships with key industrial contractors including FinCantieri Marine Repair LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, The Blackledge Group, Inc., Dmyles Inc., and RDC JPA Architecture, L.L.L.P., reflecting a balanced mix of specialized manufacturing, construction, and engineering vendors. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical competency and performance reliability, particularly for mission-critical components requiring stringent quality controls and defense-grade certifications. Haschytz exhibits a strong commitment to small business participation, with 45.5% of his acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to expand opportunities for small, capable firms in the defense industrial base. While no set-aside is applied to over half of his awards, his consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates active engagement with the socioeconomic contracting framework to foster vendor diversity and resilience. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332710 (Machine Shops) and 332111 (Iron and Steel Forging), with significant activity in cutting tool manufacturing and steel investment foundries. He routinely procures high-precision machined parts, forged ordnance components, and specialized industrial tooling, requiring expertise in metallurgy, CNC machining, and defense-specific quality assurance standards such as AS9100 and MIL-STD specifications.
