Julia A. Fulmer

Julia A. Fulmer serves as a Contract Specialist within the Military Sealift Fleet Support Command Norfolk (N40442), where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions that sustain the operational readiness of the U.S. Navy’s non-combatant fleet. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for ship repair, marine systems modernization, and industrial support services, with a focus on propulsion systems, marine HVAC, and navigation instrumentation. Fulmer ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the Command’s mission to maintain maritime logistics readiness through technical and engineering support. She routinely handles complex service and construction contracts requiring specialized maritime expertise and rigorous oversight. Fulmer cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses certified under multiple socioeconomic programs and established industrial contractors with proven capabilities in naval vessel maintenance and marine engineering. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for collaborative, performance-based acquisitions that emphasize quality assurance, timely delivery, and technical compliance. She works closely with contractors possessing niche expertise in shipyard infrastructure, mechanical retrofitting, and naval systems integration, fostering long-term partnerships that enhance mission effectiveness and supply chain resilience. A strong advocate for small business participation, Fulmer consistently prioritizes set-aside opportunities, with over 57% of her acquisitions designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Her contracting approach actively promotes inclusion of 8(a), HUBZone, and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, reflecting a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic equity and workforce development within the defense industrial base. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 336611 (Ship Building and Repairing) and 333618 (Other Engine Equipment Manufacturing), with significant activity in engineering services (541330) and specialized marine systems. She frequently procures technical services related to vessel overhaul, propulsion retrofits, and corrosion control, demonstrating deep domain expertise in naval maritime infrastructure and industrial support contracting.
