Richard M. Peirson

Richard Peirson serves as a secondary procurement specialist within the W7NR Uspfo Activity Nyang 174, supporting the Department of the Army’s mission to sustain and modernize military installation infrastructure. While not the primary contracting officer, he plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, evaluating solicitation requirements, and ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations. His work centers on construction, facility maintenance, and security systems acquisitions that directly enable mission-ready infrastructure across Army installations. He collaborates closely with program managers and engineers to translate operational needs into technically sound contract vehicles, primarily supporting capital improvement and resilience initiatives. Though specific contractor names are not publicly identified in available records, Peirson’s procurement activities consistently engage a broad network of small business vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. His engagement patterns reflect a preference for collaborative, performance-based contracting approaches with firms capable of delivering integrated construction, utility upgrades, and physical security solutions. Vendor relationships are typically long-term, built on past performance evaluations and compliance with stringent DoD facility standards. Peirson demonstrates a strong institutional commitment to small business participation, with 86.5% of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. An additional 6.3% are specifically reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, reflecting a deliberate effort to prioritize veteran entrepreneurship. His contracting patterns show minimal use of non-set-aside awards, underscoring a consistent alignment with DoD socioeconomic goals and a proactive effort to expand market access for disadvantaged firms. His technical focus lies in NAICS 236220 (commercial and institutional building construction), 238220 (plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning), and 561621 (security systems services), with supplementary activity in highway construction and fiber optic manufacturing. He routinely procures integrated infrastructure systems including HVAC, perimeter security, and utility modernization packages, demonstrating deep familiarity with military construction standards and DoD facility resilience protocols.
