Julie K. Culliton

Julie K. Culliton serves as a Contract Specialist within the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, a critical component of the Department of Defense responsible for the lifecycle management of conventional ammunition and explosives. In this role, she executes full-cycle procurement actions to support the acquisition, storage, distribution, and demilitarization of warfighting munitions systems. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting market research, evaluating proposals, and administering contracts aligned with FAR and DFARS requirements. She primarily handles service-based acquisitions essential to sustaining operational readiness, with a focus on facilities support, infrastructure maintenance, and industrial site operations critical to the command’s mission. Culliton collaborates with a diverse base of contractors providing mission-critical support services, including facilities management, utilities, and industrial construction firms. While no single vendor dominates her portfolio, her contracting patterns reflect consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering complex, safety-compliant services in secure military environments. She cultivates long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance accountability, regulatory adherence, and logistical reliability, ensuring seamless support to munitions facilities across the continental United States. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a strong preference for open competition, with 80% of actions conducted without set-asides. However, she actively promotes small business participation, consistently allocating 12% of opportunities to total small business set-asides and 8% to 8(a) competed contracts. This balanced approach ensures competitive rigor while advancing socioeconomic goals under FAR Part 19, fostering opportunities for certified small disadvantaged businesses and other eligible entities. Culliton’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 561210 (Facilities Support Services), which constitutes over 40% of her activity, followed by NAICS 238220 (Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors) and 236210 (Industrial Building Construction). She specializes in procuring services that maintain and modernize ammunition storage, handling, and processing infrastructure, requiring deep technical understanding of DoD safety standards, hazardous material handling protocols, and military installation operational requirements.
