Julie Bergami

Julie Bergami serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Federal Prison System, supporting the Department of Justice’s mission to ensure constitutionally compliant health, safety, and infrastructure services across federal correctional facilities. While not the lead contracting officer, she plays a critical role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for facility maintenance and operational support contracts. Her work primarily centers on construction, mechanical, and infrastructure-related procurements essential to sustaining the daily functioning of correctional environments, with a focus on compliance with federal building codes and humane care standards. She maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Federal Prison Industries, Inc., NapHcare Inc., McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, AOD & RBT JV, and MCW-TMG1 LLC. These partnerships reflect a mix of institutional service providers and specialized construction firms, indicating a preference for vendors with proven experience in high-security, regulated environments. Her procurement patterns suggest close collaboration with contractors capable of delivering complex, mission-critical upgrades under stringent operational constraints. Bergami’s acquisition portfolio reflects a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting, with nearly half of her supported awards designated for small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a strong institutional commitment to small business participation. While no set-aside remains the dominant category, her involvement in small business opportunities signals active support for diverse vendors, particularly those certified under standard small business programs. Her technical focus lies in construction and facility systems, with primary NAICS codes in plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning (238220); roofing (238160); electrical installation (238210); and water/sewer infrastructure (237110). She specializes in procuring services that maintain the structural and environmental integrity of federal prisons, ensuring compliance with health, safety, and accessibility standards through targeted, code-compliant contracting.
