Julie Schmoll

Julie Schmoll serves as a Contract Specialist within the W4MM USA Joint Munitions Command, where she plays a critical role in executing the lifecycle acquisition of conventional ammunition and explosives for the U.S. Army. Responsible for managing the full spectrum of contracting actions—from solicitation and evaluation to award and administration—she ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting the command’s mission to sustain combat-effective munitions readiness across land, air, and naval forces. Her portfolio primarily encompasses high-stakes, technically complex procurements involving ammunition manufacturing, explosive ordnance systems, and specialized metal container solutions essential for safe storage and transport. Julie collaborates with a diverse base of defense industrial base contractors, including prime manufacturers and Tier 1 suppliers with expertise in munitions production, metallurgy, and explosive handling. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established defense contractors with proven track records in DoD compliance, quality assurance, and supply chain security. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in technical rigor, performance accountability, and adherence to stringent safety and environmental standards required for handling sensitive ordnance systems. Julie’s contracting activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects the mission-critical nature of munitions procurement, where operational urgency, technical specialization, and national security requirements typically preclude socioeconomic set-asides. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach remains aligned with DoD policy by ensuring fair and transparent competition among qualified vendors. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 332993 (Ammunition Manufacturing) and 332992 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing), with significant activity in 332439 (Other Metal Container Manufacturing). She specializes in procuring high-explosive projectiles, propellant systems, and protective munitions containers, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with military ordnance specifications, ballistics standards, and demilitarization protocols.
