Julie T. Nguyen-Livic serves as a Contract Specialist at NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Puget Sound, where she plays a critical role in executing procurement actions that sustain the readiness of U.S. Navy surface and submarine fleets. She manages the acquisition of mission-critical marine engineering systems, structural components, and industrial maintenance services essential to vessel integrity and operational longevity. Her portfolio includes complex contracts for mechanical, electrical, and fabricated hardware systems, requiring deep technical understanding of naval platform requirements and compliance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) standards.

She maintains strong, ongoing relationships with key contractors including TIMKEN GEARS & SERVICES INC., CURTISS-WRIGHT ELECTRO-MECHANICAL CORP, BELLINGHAM MARINE INDUSTRIES, INC., PALFINGER MARINE USA, LLC, and JERED LLC. These partnerships reflect her focus on specialized industrial suppliers capable of delivering precision-engineered components, marine lifting systems, and heavy machinery solutions tailored to naval environments. Julie fosters collaborative vendor relationships grounded in technical compliance, performance accountability, and supply chain reliability, ensuring seamless integration of acquired systems into fleet maintenance cycles. Julie consistently prioritizes small business participation, with nearly half of her contracts awarded under Total Small Business Set-Asides per FAR 19.5. While the majority of her acquisitions are open competition, her proactive engagement with small businesses demonstrates a deliberate commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. She actively seeks qualified small business vendors in industrial service and manufacturing sectors, supporting broad-based economic opportunity while maintaining rigorous performance standards. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 532490 (commercial machinery leasing), 811310 (industrial machinery repair), and 611519 (technical trade schools), reflecting a diverse acquisition profile centered on maintenance support, specialized equipment access, and workforce training.
