Julie Maxwell

Julie Maxwell serves as a procurement professional responsible for managing complex acquisitions across industrial instrumentation, electronic components, and environmental control systems. She plays a critical role in executing the agency’s acquisition strategy by ensuring compliance with federal contracting regulations while aligning purchases with operational needs in manufacturing and process control technologies. Her portfolio primarily includes competitive solicitations under FAR Part 15, with a focus on technical services and specialized equipment requiring rigorous performance specifications and lifecycle support. Maxwell cultivates relationships with a diverse range of vendors, including mid-tier manufacturers of industrial measurement devices, electronic component suppliers, and HVAC system integrators. She frequently engages with firms capable of delivering custom-engineered solutions and maintains a preference for vendors with proven technical capabilities in calibration, automation, and compliance with industry standards such as ANSI and IEC. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based requirements and post-award oversight to ensure deliverables meet mission-critical operational benchmarks. Her procurement patterns reflect a strong emphasis on open competition, with over 73% of awards issued as unrestricted solicitations. Nevertheless, she consistently prioritizes small business participation, allocating nearly a quarter of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5 and approximately 4% to 8(a) competed contracts. This balanced approach demonstrates a deliberate effort to foster innovation through small business engagement while maintaining competitive integrity and value for the government. Maxwell’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 511210 (software publishing for industrial applications), 334513 (industrial process control instrumentation), 333415 (commercial refrigeration and HVAC systems), and 334419 (other electronic components). She specializes in acquiring precision measurement tools, embedded control systems, and mission-critical electrical components used in automated industrial environments, reflecting deep technical familiarity with process automation and industrial electronics domains.
