Peter Sorrentino

Peter Sorrentino serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations, where he plays a pivotal role in executing complex professional, scientific, and technical acquisitions critical to national security. He manages the full lifecycle of contracts for systems engineering, cybersecurity infrastructure, and R&D services that support operational readiness and technological integrity across DHS missions. His work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurement outcomes with strategic agency objectives in physical sciences, engineering, and information assurance. Sorrentino collaborates with a diverse array of prime contractors and subcontractors, including defense technology firms, research institutions, and specialized engineering service providers. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in high-assurance systems, secure software development, and mission-critical infrastructure support. He fosters long-term partnerships built on performance accountability, technical rigor, and contract compliance, often leveraging performance-based service contracts and indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) vehicles to ensure agility and scalability. His procurement approach prioritizes full and open competition, with no set-aside preferences identified in his portfolio. This reflects a strategic focus on sourcing the most technically qualified providers regardless of socioeconomic designation, consistent with mission-critical requirements where specialized expertise outweighs socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in his acquisitions, he maintains transparency and fair competition across all vendor categories. Sorrentino’s primary technical focus lies in NAICS categories related to scientific research and development, systems engineering, and cybersecurity services. He routinely procures advanced analytical tools, secure network architectures, threat detection platforms, and engineering support for homeland defense systems, demonstrating deep familiarity with technical domains including risk assessment, secure systems integration, and mission-critical IT modernization. His expertise ensures acquisitions directly enable DHS’s operational resilience and technological superiority.
