Peter Masters

Peter Masters serves as a key procurement lead within the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support Mechanism (N00104), supporting the operational readiness of U.S. Navy weapon systems through the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electronic components. He manages complex contracting actions for high-reliability machinery, precision valve assemblies, circuit board manufacturing, and subsystems essential to the sustainment and modernization of naval platforms. His work directly enables the maintenance and lifecycle support of advanced naval platforms by ensuring timely delivery of technically demanding components under stringent military specifications. Masters maintains consistent relationships with Tier-1 defense contractors including Raytheon Company and The Entwistle Company LLC, as well as specialized suppliers such as AMD International Technologies LLC. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term partnerships with vendors possessing proven expertise in defense-grade manufacturing, particularly in precision machining, switchgear fabrication, and bare printed circuit board production. These relationships are built on technical compliance, quality assurance protocols, and adherence to military standards such as MIL-STD and AS9100. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 97.6% of awards issued without set-aside restrictions, indicating a focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization. While small business participation is limited to 2.4%, it is strategically aligned with qualified vendors capable of meeting exacting defense performance requirements, rather than being driven by quotas. Masters specializes in acquisitions governed by NAICS codes 333998 (miscellaneous machinery), 332919 (metal valve and pipe fittings), and 334412 (bare printed circuit board manufacturing). His technical domain centers on high-integrity mechanical systems, industrial valve assemblies, and electronic subsystems critical to weapon system functionality, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense-grade manufacturing processes and supply chain resilience requirements.
