Julia Sullivan

Julia Sullivan serves as a key procurement professional within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, overseeing the acquisition of critical infrastructure services essential to preserving and modernizing the nation’s park systems. She manages complex contracts for construction, engineering, and facility modernization projects across ecologically sensitive and remote sites, ensuring compliance with federal environmental and historic preservation standards. Her portfolio primarily includes high-stakes capital projects involving rehabilitation of historic structures, utility system upgrades, and visitor facility enhancements, requiring deep coordination with engineering, environmental, and cultural resource teams to align contracting outcomes with NPS mission priorities. Sullivan maintains long-standing relationships with leading engineering and construction firms including AECOM Technical Services, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, HDR Engineering, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development. These partnerships reflect a preference for established, full-service contractors capable of delivering integrated design-build and construction management services under stringent regulatory frameworks. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical competency, proven performance on similar federal projects, and adherence to sustainable construction practices tailored to sensitive natural environments. Sullivan’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on leveraging the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors with the technical capacity to execute large-scale, mission-critical infrastructure work across diverse geographic and ecological contexts. While small business participation is not formally prioritized through socioeconomic set-asides, her awards remain accessible to all eligible firms under standard FAR procedures. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in water and sewer infrastructure (237110) and institutional furniture (337127). She specializes in acquiring turnkey solutions for aging facility rehabilitation, stormwater management, and ADA-compliant visitor amenities, demonstrating expertise in integrating historic preservation requirements with modern engineering standards.
