Rebecca Peterson

Rebecca Peterson serves as a key procurement professional within the W6QK Acc-apg organization under the Department of the Army, supporting the development and fielding of next-generation intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance systems. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on advanced aeronautical instrumentation, radio frequency platforms, and battlefield data analytics, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities to tactical units. Her work directly enables the agency’s strategic modernization of tactical communications networks and real-time data processing architectures, aligning contracting actions with DoD innovation priorities and operational readiness goals. While specific contractor names are not currently available, Peterson’s procurement patterns indicate consistent engagement with firms specializing in wireless communications equipment, computing infrastructure, and engineering services. She fosters collaborative relationships with both large primes and niche technology providers, often requiring integrated solutions that combine hardware, software, and systems engineering. Her approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and technical risk mitigation, ensuring vendors deliver secure, interoperable systems that meet rigorous military standards. Peterson demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 85.7% of her acquisitions issued as non-set-aside procurements. However, she actively incorporates 8(a) competed contracts, accounting for 14.3% of her portfolio, reflecting a deliberate but measured commitment to small business participation. Her contracting strategy balances mission urgency with socioeconomic objectives, ensuring qualified small businesses have meaningful access to high-impact opportunities without compromising technical requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334220 (radio and wireless communications equipment), 518210 (data infrastructure and hosting services), 541330 (engineering services), and 561110 (office administrative support). This reflects a technical domain expertise spanning RF system integration, edge computing for battlefield environments, systems engineering support, and operational logistics services—all essential to sustaining the Army’s modernized sensing and command architecture.
