Geraldine Julao

Geraldine Julao serves as a key procurement professional within Naval Facilities Engineering Systems Command (NAVFAC) Marianas, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain critical infrastructure across Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the Federated States of Micronesia. She manages a diverse portfolio of acquisitions focused on facility operations, environmental compliance, and mission-critical systems, ensuring alignment with federal contracting regulations and operational readiness goals. Her work spans the full lifecycle of contract execution—from requirements development and market research to award and administration—primarily handling service-based contracts that support base infrastructure resilience and environmental stewardship. Julao maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including SEL Engineering Services, Inc., Schneider Electric Buildings Critical Systems, Inc., CDM Constructors Inc., and AMD International Technologies LLC. These partnerships reflect a strategic emphasis on firms with proven expertise in facility maintenance, energy systems, telecommunications infrastructure, and technical support services. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes, leveraging long-term vendor relationships to ensure reliability and compliance in austere and remote operational environments. A strong advocate for small business participation, Julao consistently structures procurements to maximize small business set-asides, with 68.4% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals, fostering opportunities for small, disadvantaged, and locally based vendors to contribute to national defense infrastructure. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a deliberate alignment with federal small business policy, promoting equitable access and capacity building within regional economies. Her primary NAICS focus areas include fire protection services, septic tank and related services, communications equipment manufacturing, and professional training. These reflect a technical domain centered on environmental health, life-safety systems, and workforce development—critical enablers for sustaining military operations in the Indo-Pacific region. Julao’s expertise lies in procuring specialized services that ensure regulatory compliance, operational continuity, and long-term infrastructure resilience.
