Richard M. Peirson

Richard M. Peirson serves as a key procurement professional within the W7NR Uspfo Activity Nyang 174, a Department of the Army installation support activity responsible for sustaining and modernizing critical military infrastructure. He manages a diverse portfolio of construction and facility services contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to ensure mission-ready bases through robust maintenance, utility upgrades, and physical security enhancements. His acquisitions primarily support civil engineering, environmental resilience, and operational readiness initiatives, with a strong emphasis on compliance with federal contracting regulations and strategic infrastructure modernization goals. Peirson maintains collaborative relationships with a broad spectrum of contractors specializing in installation support services, particularly those with expertise in plumbing, heating, air-conditioning, site preparation, and roofing systems. He regularly engages with small business vendors possessing niche technical capabilities in facility maintenance and infrastructure rehabilitation, fostering long-term partnerships that prioritize quality, reliability, and rapid response to urgent base requirements. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and contractor accountability across the lifecycle of installation projects. A consistent and pronounced commitment to socioeconomic contracting is evident in Peirson’s award patterns, with over 90% of his acquisitions structured as small business set-asides—nearly half designated specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses (SDVOSBs). This reflects a deliberate strategy to empower qualified veteran-led firms and enhance economic inclusion within the defense industrial base, while ensuring access to specialized capabilities critical to installation resilience. His procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning), 238910 (site preparation), and 238320 (painting and wall covering), indicating deep expertise in facility systems integration and physical infrastructure upgrades. He routinely procures services related to utility modernization, site grading, corrosion control, and environmental compliance, demonstrating specialized knowledge in military construction standards and Army Corps of Engineers guidance.
