Julie Culliton

Julie Culliton serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-ri unit of the Department of the Army, responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Army’s industrial base for ordnance, precision components, and battlefield support systems. She oversees the full lifecycle of contracting actions for critical infrastructure and maintenance services essential to weapons systems readiness, with a focus on fabricated metal products, machine tooling, and facility-related construction. Her work directly enables the Army’s operational preparedness by ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities through compliant, transparent, and strategically aligned procurement processes. Culliton maintains consistent partnerships with a core group of specialized contractors, including AMD International Technologies LLC, Faxon Machining, LLC, Palantir USG Inc., and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, each bringing niche expertise in precision manufacturing, defense-grade fabrication, and mission-critical software integration. Her contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor reliability and technical capability over transactional engagements, fostering collaborative relationships with firms capable of supporting complex, low-volume, high-precision requirements. These partnerships are often structured under indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) or multiple-award contract vehicles to ensure rapid response to evolving field needs. A strong advocate for small business participation, Culliton consistently applies Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, directing 80% of her portfolio to small business contractors. This reflects a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to cultivate a resilient, diversified supplier base capable of meeting the Army’s specialized industrial demands while promoting economic opportunity across the defense industrial ecosystem. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 237110 (water and sewer infrastructure), 237310 (transportation infrastructure), and 238160–238220 (building systems contracting), indicating deep expertise in facility sustainment and utility modernization for military industrial sites. She procures services ranging from structural steel fabrication and roofing systems to electrical and HVAC installations, ensuring that Army production and maintenance facilities remain fully operational and compliant with defense infrastructure standards.
