Julia Roquemore

Julia Roquemore serves as Division Chief overseeing critical acquisition programs within a federal defense and aerospace-focused organization. In this leadership role, she directs the planning, solicitation, and award of complex procurement actions involving advanced manufacturing and mission-critical components. Her portfolio centers on high-precision engineering systems, with a strong emphasis on aviation and electro-mechanical subsystems. Roquemore ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract strategies with national security and operational readiness objectives, frequently coordinating with technical specialists and program managers to define requirements and evaluate vendor capabilities. While specific contractor names are not publicly identifiable, Roquemore maintains a broad network of industrial partners specializing in aerospace component manufacturing, motor and generator systems, and electronic subassemblies. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers with proven track records in precision fabrication and quality assurance under AS9100 standards. She fosters long-term vendor relationships built on technical reliability, supply chain resilience, and adherence to defense industrial base standards, often engaging firms with DOD clearances and ITAR compliance. Roquemore demonstrates a strong commitment to socioeconomic contracting, with the majority of her acquisitions—85.7%—issued as unrestricted competitions. However, she actively leverages small business set-asides, particularly Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and consistently utilizes HUBZone preferences to support economically distressed communities. Her approach balances competitive fairness with statutory obligations to promote small business participation, ensuring diverse suppliers have equitable access to high-value technical opportunities. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in propulsion systems, flight control components, and auxiliary power units. She also procures specialized electro-mechanical systems under NAICS 335312 and 334419, demonstrating proficiency in integrating mission-critical electronics and power systems into complex platforms. Roquemore’s technical domain expertise spans aerospace manufacturing, systems integration, and defense supply chain modernization.
