Julie Fox

Julie M. Fox serves as a Contract Specialist within Washington Headquarters Services (WHS), a critical support arm of the Department of Defense responsible for enabling enterprise-wide administrative and operational efficiency. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions, from requirements definition and market research to contract award and administration. Her portfolio primarily supports mission-critical consulting and technical services that enhance DoD institutional capacity, with a strong emphasis on digital transformation, management optimization, and scientific research initiatives. Julie ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with WHS’s strategic goals of modernization and resource optimization. Julie maintains consistent contracting relationships with a select group of high-performing vendors, including CLARITY INNOVATIONS LLC, CYNERGY PROFESSIONAL SYSTEMS LLC, SIGNATURE RENOVATIONS LLC, AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, and GUIDEHOUSE INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established firms with proven expertise in defense-sector consulting, technical support, and institutional modernization. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous contractor oversight to ensure mission alignment and accountability. Julie demonstrates a robust commitment to small business participation, with approximately 40% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. An additional 5% are reserved for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, and another 5% for SBA-certified Economically Disadvantaged Women-Owned Small Businesses (EDWOSBs). While half of her contracts remain open to all competitors, her deliberate use of socioeconomic set-asides underscores a strategic effort to broaden vendor diversity and strengthen the defense industrial base. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541712 (R&D in physical and engineering sciences) and 541690 (other scientific and technical consulting services), reflecting deep engagement with research, systems analysis, and technical advisory services. She also frequently procures administrative management consulting (541611) and specialized professional services (541990), supporting WHS’s mission to modernize defense enterprise systems through expert, evidence-based solutions.
