Peter W. Maley

Peter W. Maley serves as a Contract Specialist within the 0410 Aq Hq Contract Augmented unit under the Department of the Army, where he plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain and modernize military communications, information technology, and facility infrastructure. His responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contract actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—for secure wireless systems, tactical software solutions, and specialized electronic equipment. Maley ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s strategic priorities of enhancing command and control resilience and operational readiness across deployed environments. Maley maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse pool of contractors, including prime vendors specializing in defense-grade telecommunications, cybersecurity-enabled software development, and industrial maintenance services. He frequently engages with both large defense contractors and small business concerns, fostering transparent, competitive bidding processes that prioritize technical capability, past performance, and compliance with DoD security standards. His working style emphasizes proactive vendor engagement and clear communication to mitigate risk and ensure timely delivery of mission-essential capabilities. His procurement portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly equal distribution among total small business set-asides, 8(a) competed contracts, and open competitions. This pattern underscores his dedication to expanding opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and veteran-owned businesses while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Maley actively leverages the 8(a) program to cultivate a robust small business pipeline aligned with the agency’s technological modernization goals. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334210 (Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing), supporting the acquisition of secure tactical communication devices, alongside significant activity in facilities support services (561210), security systems (561621), and translation services (541930). This technical breadth demonstrates his expertise in integrating commercial off-the-shelf solutions with specialized military requirements across both physical and cyber domains.
