Shaun Peterson

Shaun Peterson serves as a Contract Specialist within the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, a critical component of the Department of the Army responsible for the lifecycle management of conventional ammunition and explosives. In this role, he executes full-cycle procurement actions for mission-critical munitions systems, facilities support services, and related logistics capabilities. His responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, negotiating contract terms, and ensuring compliance with FAR and Army-specific regulatory frameworks. Peterson’s work directly supports operational readiness by enabling the acquisition, production, storage, and demilitarization of ammunition systems essential to land, air, and naval forces. While specific contractor names are not disclosed in available data, Peterson maintains a robust network of industrial partners engaged in munitions manufacturing and facilities support services. His contracting patterns reflect collaboration with both large defense primes and qualified small businesses, emphasizing performance-based outcomes, supply chain resilience, and technical compliance with Department of Defense safety and quality standards. He consistently engages vendors with proven expertise in explosive ordnance handling, ammunition production, and military-grade facility operations. Peterson demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. His contracting approach prioritizes socioeconomic programs that expand access for small businesses, particularly those with relevant technical capabilities in defense logistics and manufacturing, though no specific 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences are dominant in his portfolio. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), encompassing maintenance, security, and logistics support for munitions storage and handling facilities, and NAICS 332992 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing), covering the production and assembly of conventional ammunition components. This dual specialization reflects his technical fluency in both operational infrastructure and munitions production systems, positioning him as a key enabler of the Army’s modernization and sustainment objectives.
