Julie Simpson

Julie Simpson serves as a secondary procurement liaison within the Oss Procurement Division of the U.S. Marshals Service, supporting mission-critical logistical and operational needs under the Department of Justice. While not a contracting officer, she plays a vital role in facilitating acquisition planning, vendor coordination, and contract administration for non-defense-related services essential to federal detention and transport operations. Her work ensures timely procurement of administrative, facility, and personnel support services that sustain the agency’s operational readiness, with a focus on low-to-mid-tier acquisitions requiring rapid turnaround and compliance with federal procurement regulations. Simpson maintains consistent engagement with RED SKY ADVENTURES LLC, a key vendor partner delivering specialized services aligned with the division’s unique operational environment. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established small business contractors with proven reliability in niche service domains, fostering long-term, performance-based vendor relationships built on compliance, responsiveness, and mission alignment rather than volume-driven contracting. Her contracting portfolio demonstrates a strong emphasis on small business participation, with over 61% of acquisitions set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate strategy to broaden vendor diversity and enhance competition. Additional set-asides include service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses and HUBZone firms, indicating a structured commitment to socioeconomic goals while maintaining flexibility for non-set-aside procurements when necessary. Simpson’s primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 722320 (Caterers), reflecting the division’s need for secure, scalable food services for detention and transport operations. Secondary areas include telecommunications equipment manufacturing (334220) and miscellaneous instructional services (611699), underscoring her expertise in procuring specialized, non-traditional support services that enable secure, mission-critical environments. Her technical domain knowledge spans logistical support, facility services, and operational readiness infrastructure.
