Julia Zeleneeva

Julia Zeleneeva serves as a Contract Specialist at the Mid Atlantic Regional Maintenance Center under the Department of the Navy, where she plays a pivotal role in executing procurement actions that sustain and modernize naval surface platforms. She manages the acquisition of critical industrial and mechanical systems essential to fleet readiness, including overhead crane systems, specialized engine components, and fabricated structural materials. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure the operational integrity of naval vessels through precision maintenance and industrial support, focusing on complex, technically demanding contracts requiring rigorous compliance with defense acquisition regulations. Zeleneeva maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Fairlead Boatworks, Inc., General Dynamics Information Technology, Inc., Howard W. Pence, Inc., and Kampi Components Co., Inc., all of which provide specialized engineering, fabrication, and maintenance services. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical reliability and regulatory compliance, often engaging firms with proven expertise in naval infrastructure and shipboard systems. She collaborates closely with these contractors to ensure timely delivery of mission-critical components under strict quality and safety standards. A strong advocate for small business participation, Zeleneeva consistently prioritizes Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with over 76% of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. This reflects a deliberate strategy to expand economic opportunity within the defense industrial base while leveraging the agility and innovation of small manufacturers. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a sustained commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission requirements. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS codes 333923 (overhead crane and hoist systems), 333618 (other engine equipment), and 336611 (shipbuilding and repair), indicating deep technical expertise in mechanical subsystems, marine engineering, and fabricated metal components. She routinely manages contracts for specialized industrial equipment used in shipyard maintenance and vessel modernization, requiring precise alignment with naval specifications and defense standards.
