Peter Kontakos

Peter Kontakos serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development through contract award and administration. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and advancing the agency’s mission through transparent, efficient procurement practices. His portfolio primarily includes construction-related services and technical consulting, with a focus on structurally complex infrastructure projects and specialized engineering support. Kontakos routinely handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under both full and open competition and set-aside authorities, ensuring alignment with federal acquisition policy and fiscal accountability. While specific contractor names are not available, Kontakos maintains consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, particularly those qualified in structural steel fabrication, precast concrete installation, and prefabricated metal building systems. His working relationships emphasize performance-based contracting, clear deliverables, and contractor accountability under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement arrangements. He fosters collaborative partnerships with firms possessing proven technical capabilities and strong past performance records, prioritizing quality and compliance over cost alone. Kontakos demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. He consistently leverages small business programs to expand market access, ensuring equitable opportunity for qualified small businesses while maintaining rigorous performance standards. His procurement patterns reflect a balanced approach between open competition and targeted set-asides, reinforcing the federal government’s mandate to promote small business participation without compromising mission readiness. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 238120 (Structural Steel and Precast Concrete Contractors), 332311 (Prefabricated Metal Building and Component Manufacturing), and 541690 (Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services). He specializes in acquiring engineered construction components and technical advisory services supporting infrastructure resilience, demonstrating deep familiarity with building codes, structural design standards, and project delivery methodologies used in federal construction programs.
