His working relationships reflect a preference for competitive, performance-based contracting approaches, fostering vendor accountability through clear statement of work definitions and robust quality assurance provisions. He maintains a balanced procurement strategy that prioritizes technical capability while encouraging market participation across firm sizes. Peterson demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with over 25% of his awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, and a notable 1.3% allocated to 8(a) competed contracts. His procurement patterns reflect a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small businesses, particularly those with specialized technical capabilities, while maintaining a majority of acquisitions open to all competitors under the “No Set-Aside” category to ensure broad market competition.
