Julie Miller

Julie Miller serves as a Contract Administrator responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions, from requirement validation and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and advancing the agency’s mission through timely, transparent, and efficient contracting processes. Her portfolio primarily encompasses technical equipment and industrial machinery acquisitions, with a focus on ensuring that procurements align with operational needs while adhering to statutory and regulatory requirements. She routinely handles competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 12 and Part 15, often working closely with technical stakeholders to define clear performance specifications. Julie collaborates with a diverse base of vendors, including manufacturers of communications equipment, industrial control systems, and specialized machinery, as well as leasing firms providing commercial and industrial equipment solutions. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she maintains consistent engagement with firms capable of delivering high-precision, mission-critical hardware and integrated systems. Her working relationships emphasize technical capability, past performance, and compliance with quality standards, fostering a procurement environment grounded in competition and accountability. Julie demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 31.8% of her awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. She actively leverages small business programs to expand vendor diversity and promote economic opportunity, consistently prioritizing small businesses over non-set-aside awards when market conditions permit. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate alignment with socioeconomic goals, favoring full small business set-asides over partial or targeted set-asides such as 8(a) or HUBZone, indicating a preference for broad-based small business inclusion. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 334220 for radio and television broadcasting equipment, followed by specialized manufacturing in measuring and control devices, industrial fans and blowers, and overhead crane systems. She also regularly procures leasing services under NAICS 532490. This technical domain expertise enables her to effectively evaluate complex specifications and ensure acquisitions meet stringent performance, safety, and interoperability standards.
