Julie A Berrelez

Julie A. Berrelez serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4887 56th Contracting Squadron under the Department of the Air Force, where she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions critical to sustaining Air Force installation infrastructure and mission-critical aviation assets. Her portfolio centers on industrial maintenance, aviation component manufacturing, and facility operations support, with a focus on complex service contracts requiring technical oversight and compliance with Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) requirements. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring operational readiness by facilitating timely and compliant acquisitions that support airfield, hangar, and maintenance facility sustainment across the Air Force enterprise. Berrelez maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors including ARKOSE GROUP LLC, SILVER NATIONAL CORP., BLAZING AVIATION LLC, and MACH 2 PRODUCTIONS INC., all of which provide niche industrial maintenance, aviation repair, and technical services. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven expertise in aviation-specific maintenance, tooling, and facility systems support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, rigorous technical evaluation, and long-term vendor reliability over transactional procurement, fostering stable, high-performing contractor relationships essential to mission continuity. Berrelez’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with agency priorities that prioritize technical capability and mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures that all awards are awarded based on merit, technical competence, and past performance, maintaining the highest standards of fairness and mission readiness. Her procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS Code 811219—Other Industrial and Commercial Machinery and Equipment Repair and Maintenance. This specialization underscores her deep expertise in procuring precision maintenance services for aviation systems, ground support equipment, and facility infrastructure, requiring technical knowledge of aerospace-grade repair protocols and compliance with Air Force-specific maintenance standards.
