Julie A. Cody

Julie Ann Cody serves as a Contracting Officer within the FA8773 Acc 38 Cons agency under the Department of the Air Force, where she leads the acquisition and management of mission-critical cyber and space infrastructure contracts. Her role is central to sustaining the Air Force’s operational readiness in high-tempo cyberspace and space domains, overseeing the procurement of advanced IT services, secure communications systems, and facility support for classified computing environments. She manages full lifecycle contracting actions—from market research and solicitation to award and closeout—ensuring compliance with DoD acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with strategic national defense priorities. Cody maintains a consistent working relationship with AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, a key contractor delivering specialized cyber operations support, systems integration, and mission training solutions. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established, technically proficient vendors with proven expertise in secure IT environments, indicating a focus on reliability and performance over volume-based competition. She engages primarily with firms capable of supporting complex, classified requirements and operates within a framework that prioritizes technical capability and mission alignment. Her contracting portfolio exhibits no set-aside preferences, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic emphasis on accessing the broadest possible pool of qualified vendors with the technical depth required for national security missions, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, her approach ensures fair competition among all eligible offerors. Cody’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541512 (Computer Systems Design Services), encompassing cyber training platforms, secure network architecture, mission-specific software development, and facility-based IT infrastructure. Her expertise centers on acquiring services that enable formalized cyber operations training, secure data transmission, and resilient computing environments essential to Air Force space and cyberspace dominance.
