Peter S Lewis

Peter S. Lewis serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions within a federal agency focused on advanced telecommunications infrastructure. He plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while delivering mission-critical satellite communications capabilities. His acquisitions typically involve complex, technically demanding solicitations for satellite-based services, including transponder capacity, ground station integration, and end-to-end telecommunications system support. Lewis works closely with technical stakeholders to define requirements, draft performance-based statements of work, and evaluate proposals using best value tradeoff methodologies. While specific contractor names are not available, Lewis maintains a consistent pattern of engaging with large prime contractors and systems integrators specializing in satellite telecommunications. His procurement approach emphasizes competitive sealed bidding and performance-based contracting, fostering long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical excellence and regulatory compliance. He prioritizes clear contract administration protocols, ensuring deliverables align with operational needs and cybersecurity standards such as NIST SP 800-171. Lewis exhibits no preference for socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of his awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on technical capability over socioeconomic categorization, aligning with the specialized nature of satellite telecommunications requirements where only a limited pool of qualified vendors exists. His approach prioritizes mission readiness and operational continuity over mandated small business participation metrics. His primary and exclusive NAICS focus is 517410—Satellite Telecommunications—indicating deep expertise in procuring space-based communication systems, orbital resource management, and related ground segment infrastructure. He routinely handles acquisitions for C-band, Ku-band, and Ka-band services, satellite constellation support, and secure data transmission networks. Lewis’s technical domain expertise ensures that contract requirements accurately reflect evolving satellite technology standards and interagency coordination needs within the national security and civil space sectors.
