Peter Lockwood serves as a key procurement professional within the National Office of the Internal Revenue Service, operating under the Department of the Treasury. He is responsible for managing acquisitions that support the modernization of federal tax administration systems, with a focus on advanced technology services and analytical capabilities. His work directly enables the IRS’s mission to enhance the security, efficiency, and accessibility of tax processing infrastructure. Lockwood routinely oversees the procurement of custom software development, legacy system modernization, and cybersecurity enhancements, ensuring alignment with federal IT modernization priorities. His acquisitions are mission-critical, often targeting high-impact initiatives such as cloud migration and COBOL application replacement. Lockwood collaborates with a broad spectrum of technology service providers specializing in federal tax systems, including firms with deep expertise in mainframe modernization, cloud-native development, and automated vulnerability scanning. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages vendors with proven experience in IRS environments and demonstrated compliance with NIST and FISMA standards. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, long-term sustainment, and interoperability with existing IRS enterprise architectures. Lockwood’s procurement activity shows no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic criteria, though small businesses are not excluded—they compete on equal footing based on technical merit and past performance. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541511, Custom Computer Programming Services, with an emphasis on secure, scalable software development for tax compliance and data analytics. He procures solutions that modernize legacy COBOL systems, implement cloud-based processing environments, and integrate advanced cybersecurity controls, demonstrating deep expertise in federal tax technology domains and enterprise IT transformation.
