Vick A. Peltier

Vick A. Peltier serves as a Contracting Specialist responsible for managing complex procurement actions across technical and aerospace-related domains. In this role, Peltier ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while facilitating timely and cost-effective acquisition of mission-critical systems and services. Their work supports the agency’s broader mission to acquire advanced technological capabilities, primarily through competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15. Peltier typically handles acquisitions for specialized equipment, technical services, and training solutions requiring rigorous technical evaluation and source selection. Peltier maintains a broad network of vendors across aerospace, defense, and professional services sectors, engaging with both large prime contractors and small businesses through open competition. While no single contractor dominates their portfolio, Peltier consistently collaborates with firms possessing expertise in avionics, instrumentation, and technical training systems. Their contracting approach emphasizes transparency, fair competition, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor relationships grounded in regulatory compliance and accountability. Peltier’s procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 95.7% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. Only 4.3% of awards are designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a targeted but limited use of socioeconomic programs. While not heavily reliant on 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, Peltier remains committed to small business inclusion where market conditions and technical requirements align with eligibility criteria. The majority of Peltier’s acquisitions fall under NAICS 334511 (aeronautical and navigation systems manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in avionics, sensor systems, and guidance instrumentation. Additional focus areas include NAICS 336413 (other aircraft parts), NAICS 811219 (electronic and mechanical repair services), and NAICS 541990 (professional technical services). This specialization underscores a technical proficiency in defense-related aerospace systems and supporting technical education services, positioning Peltier as a subject matter expert in high-precision, mission-critical procurement.
