Julia L. Brueggemann

Julia L. Brueggemann serves as a Contracting Officer with the 763d Enterprise Sourcing Squadron under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in securing mission-critical technology and logistics support services essential to airpower readiness. Her portfolio encompasses the acquisition of advanced communications systems, computer-based training platforms, and enterprise-level IT infrastructure that enhance pilot proficiency, battlefield communications resilience, and operational logistics agility. She manages full lifecycle procurements under FAR and DFARS guidelines, with a focus on complex, performance-based contracts that align with the Air Force’s modernization priorities in digital transformation and sustainment. Brueggemann cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including prime contractors specializing in defense-grade telecommunications, systems integration, and software development. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with proven expertise in secure communications, avionics support, and mission-critical software services. Her contracting approach emphasizes competitive bidding, technical evaluation rigor, and performance accountability, fostering partnerships with both large industry players and agile small businesses capable of rapid innovation in dynamic operational environments. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for open competition, with 76.9% of her awards issued without set-asides. However, she actively supports small business participation, dedicating 23.1% of her contracts to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small businesses without relying on specialized socioeconomic programs like 8(a) or HUBZone. Brueggemann’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS codes 334210 (Telephone Apparatus Manufacturing), 511210 (Software Publishers), and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), reflecting her specialization in secure communications hardware, custom software solutions, and enterprise IT architecture. She routinely procures encrypted radio systems, training simulation platforms, networked data systems, and embedded computing solutions critical to sustaining Air Force operational readiness across combat and training domains.
