Julie M DeCarlo

Julie M. DeCarlo serves as a key procurement professional within DLA Land Warren, supporting the Defense Logistics Agency’s mission to sustain the operational readiness of U.S. ground forces through the acquisition of mission-critical mechanical, electrical, and electro-mechanical components. She manages contracts for high-reliability transmission systems, powertrain assemblies, armored vehicle subsystems, and electronic control units essential to armored fighting vehicles and tactical transport platforms. Her work directly enables the maintenance and modernization of combat-ready land systems, ensuring timely delivery of components that meet stringent military performance and durability standards. DeCarlo maintains longstanding relationships with leading defense suppliers including ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC, OSHKOSH DEFENSE LLC, RENK AMERICA LLC, SCI TECHNOLOGY, INC, and VAREC NV. These partnerships reflect a strategic focus on Tier 1 and specialized Tier 2 vendors with proven expertise in military-grade powertrain engineering, armored vehicle integration, and electronic assembly. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical compliance, supply chain resilience, and long-term vendor collaboration to support sustained operational readiness across multiple platforms. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with over 40% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, and an additional 6% designated for Women-Owned Small Businesses. While the majority of contracts remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of socioeconomic set-asides reflects a deliberate strategy to foster innovation and capacity building among qualified small and mid-sized defense contractors. DeCarlo’s technical focus centers on NAICS categories including 336350 (Motor Vehicle Transmission and Power Train Parts Manufacturing), 336992 (Military Armored Vehicle Manufacturing), and 334418 (Printed Circuit Assembly Manufacturing). She routinely procures precision-engineered components such as gearboxes, torque converters, armored vehicle suspension subsystems, and embedded electronic control modules, demonstrating deep familiarity with defense-specific engineering standards and military logistics requirements.
