Julie Fugate

Julie A. Fugate serves as a Contract Administrator responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from solicitation through contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal procurement regulations, particularly under the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), and supports mission-critical procurement initiatives by aligning contracting strategies with agency objectives. Her portfolio primarily encompasses construction, industrial instrumentation, concrete products, and pest control services, requiring a nuanced understanding of technical specifications, performance standards, and delivery timelines. Fugate’s work ensures that acquisitions are conducted transparently, efficiently, and in accordance with statutory requirements. Fugate collaborates with a diverse range of contractors, including small businesses, specialty contractors, and manufacturers across multiple technical domains. While no single vendor dominates her award portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering specialized electrical installation systems, precision industrial control instruments, precast concrete components, and integrated pest management solutions. She fosters collaborative relationships grounded in regulatory compliance, performance accountability, and timely contract modifications, ensuring vendors meet both technical and administrative obligations. A strong advocate for small business participation, Fugate consistently prioritizes Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, with nearly two-thirds of her acquisitions reserved for small businesses. Her procurement strategy reflects a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals, with minimal use of unrestricted solicitations. This pattern underscores her alignment with federal mandates to promote equitable access to government contracting opportunities for small and emerging businesses. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 238210 for electrical and wiring installation, NAICS 334513 for industrial measurement and control instruments, NAICS 327390 for concrete product manufacturing, and NAICS 561710 for pest control services. These categories reflect deep expertise in construction-related infrastructure, precision industrial systems, and facility maintenance services, requiring technical fluency in material specifications, testing protocols, and performance-based requirements.
