Julie Dennison

Julie Dennison serves as a key procurement lead within the W6QK Acc-orlando office of the Department of the Army, where she manages complex technical acquisitions supporting advanced military training systems and defense technology integration. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contracts for engineering services, simulation infrastructure, and mission command systems, with a focus on modernizing live-fire training environments and aviation/artillery readiness platforms. Dennison plays a central role in aligning acquisition strategy with the agency’s mission to deliver cutting-edge training solutions through rapid prototyping, systems integration, and R&D-driven procurement. She routinely handles sole-source and competitive acquisitions under broad agency research and development authorities, ensuring technical compliance and operational suitability for high-stakes defense applications. Dennison maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized defense contractors, including TORCH RESEARCH, LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY INTERNATIONAL, and FIDELITY TECHNOLOGIES CORPORATION. These partnerships are characterized by deep technical collaboration, often involving iterative development cycles for simulation software, embedded training systems, and real-time data analytics platforms. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor engagement, performance-based contracting, and technical evaluation criteria that prioritize innovation, interoperability, and field-proven reliability over cost alone. Dennison’s contracting activity shows no reliance on socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic focus on accessing specialized technical capabilities rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for rapid deployment of mission-critical systems. While small business participation is not formally prioritized, her portfolio occasionally includes small firms embedded within prime contractor teams through subcontracting arrangements. Her primary procurement focus centers on advanced engineering services, systems integration, and defense simulation technologies. She frequently procures solutions under NAICS categories related to scientific R&D, defense electronics, and military training equipment, with expertise in digital twin development, virtual range systems, and mission command architecture. Dennison’s work directly supports the Army’s modernization priorities in training realism, cognitive readiness, and networked battlefield environments.
