Peter O Peppin

Peter O. Peppin serves as a Contracting Officer within the IT Network Services Contract Operations Division (47QTCD) of the General Services Administration’s Federal Acquisition Service. In this role, he is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex IT acquisitions, including solicitation, evaluation, award, and contract administration. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to modernize federal digital infrastructure by procuring secure, scalable, and interoperable technology solutions. Peppin specializes in acquiring professional IT services, systems integration, and mission-critical technical support, ensuring federal agencies receive tailored solutions that meet evolving cybersecurity and operational demands. Peppin cultivates collaborative relationships with a diverse range of vendors, primarily engaged in delivering custom software development, cloud-enabled services, and enterprise systems support. While no single contractor dominates his portfolio, he consistently engages with firms possessing proven expertise in federal IT environments, including those with FISMA, FedRAMP, and CMMC compliance capabilities. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection criteria to ensure technical excellence and value for the government. Peppin’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open, unrestricted competition, with 100% of his acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a focus on selecting the most technically qualified offerors regardless of socioeconomic status, aligning with mission-critical timelines and specialized technical requirements where broad competition ensures optimal outcomes. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in his portfolio, he adheres strictly to all statutory requirements and maintains transparency in sourcing decisions. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), which encompasses a wide array of IT consulting, systems analysis, and technical support services. He also frequently procures services under NAICS 519190 (Other Information Services), 532112 (Passenger Car Leasing), and 611710 (Educational Support Services), reflecting a diverse but mission-aligned portfolio that supports both digital transformation and operational continuity across federal networks.
