Julie Dack serves as a primary contracting professional at the Naval Air Warfare Center, where she plays a central role in advancing mission-critical aviation technologies through strategic acquisitions. She manages a diverse portfolio of research, development, and engineering contracts aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize airborne command and control, avionics, and sensor systems. Her work directly supports the integration of next-generation electronics, software, and communications platforms essential to naval air superiority. Dack typically handles complex, high-technical-risk procurements involving prototype development, systems integration, and test and evaluation services, ensuring alignment with DoD acquisition regulations and technical performance requirements. She maintains consistent, long-term relationships with leading defense technology contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Kranze Technology Solutions Inc., and Teya Support Services LLC. These partnerships are characterized by deep technical collaboration, often involving iterative prototyping, rapid prototyping cycles, and agile development frameworks. Dack’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical innovation, frequently engaging prime contractors with proven expertise in avionics, electronic warfare, and mission simulation systems. Dack’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic categorization, prioritizing mission readiness and system performance above targeted small business participation. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting decisions remain fully compliant with all federal acquisition policies. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541715 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences) and 541713 (nanotechnology R&D), with additional activity in electronic computer manufacturing and wireless communications equipment. She procures advanced avionics, sensor suites, mission planning software, and specialized coatings for high-performance aerospace platforms, demonstrating deep expertise in defense electronics, systems engineering, and airborne technology integration.
