Julie Dack

Julie Dack serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center (N68936), where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions that support the development and integration of advanced naval aviation systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract management—from market research and solicitation drafting to award and performance oversight—for mission-critical technologies in avionics, sensor systems, and command and control platforms. Dack aligns her procurement activities with the agency’s strategic priorities in next-generation airborne warfare capabilities, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while fostering innovation through technical collaboration with industry partners. She maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense and aerospace contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Jacobs Technology Inc., SAIC, Kranze Technology Solutions Inc., and Teya Support Services LLC. These partnerships are primarily centered on R&D, systems integration, and technical support services for high-performance electronic and instrumentation systems. Dack’s approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, leveraging contractor expertise in aerospace engineering, software-defined systems, and mission simulation environments to meet evolving operational requirements. Dack’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued without set-aside designations. While she does not routinely utilize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her contracting strategy prioritizes technical capability and mission readiness over socioeconomic classifications, ensuring access to the most qualified industry partners for complex defense systems. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 511210 (Software Publishers), 334515 and 334516 (Instrument Manufacturing for Electrical Measurement and Analytical Laboratories), and 334511 (Aeronautical and Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing). She regularly procures advanced avionics, test and evaluation equipment, sensor fusion technologies, and nanotechnology-enabled components, demonstrating deep expertise in the technical domains of airborne electronics, signal processing, and mission-critical systems integration.
