Julie M. Gavin

Julie M. Gavin serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA3016 502 Cons Cl under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical procurement actions to sustain Air Force installations. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of contracts for specialized facility, medical, and infrastructure services, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and aligning acquisitions with operational readiness goals. She routinely handles complex solicitations for construction, mechanical systems, and facility maintenance services, balancing technical requirements with fiscal accountability and regulatory adherence to support safe, modernized airbase environments. Julie maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including PERRY MANAGEMENT CORP OF SOUTH DAKOTA, L.L.C, WILLIAM T BROOKS & ASSOCIATES INC, CITADEL FEDERAL SOLUTIONS LLC, NEXLEGACY LLC, and AJ COMMERCIAL SERVICES, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in facility services, maintenance, and technical support. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, clear statement of work development, and rigorous source selection processes to ensure contractor reliability and mission alignment. Her procurement strategy demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly 50% of awards issued without set-asides, while 37.5% are structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5 and 12.5% competitively awarded to 8(a) firms. This pattern reflects a deliberate effort to foster small business participation without compromising mission requirements, aligning with Department of the Air Force goals for broad vendor engagement and resilience in the supply base. Julie’s primary NAICS focus includes Commercial and Institutional Building Construction (236220), Plumbing, Heating, and Air-Conditioning Contractors (238220), and select manufacturing categories such as Industrial Valve Manufacturing (332911), Carpet and Rug Mills (314110), and Dog and Cat Food Manufacturing (311111). While the latter reflect niche or ancillary procurements, her core technical expertise lies in facility infrastructure, HVAC systems, and construction-related services critical to sustaining Air Force operational environments.
