Julie Y. Lesueur

Julie Y. Lesueur serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing complex acquisitions within the aerospace and aviation manufacturing sector. She plays a pivotal role in executing full-cycle procurement processes, from requirements development and market research to contract award and administration. Her work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while supporting mission-critical capabilities in aircraft systems. Lesueur routinely handles competitive and set-aside solicitations for high-precision components and auxiliary equipment, focusing on technical procurement strategies that align with national defense and aviation infrastructure needs. Her contractor relationships center on manufacturers of aircraft parts and propulsion systems, including both large prime contractors and small business suppliers with specialized engineering capabilities. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in technical transparency, performance-based contracting, and strict adherence to quality assurance standards. Lesueur consistently engages with vendors possessing AS9100 certification and other industry-specific quality accreditations, ensuring reliability and regulatory compliance across the supply chain. Lesueur demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 40% of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While the majority of her awards remain unrestricted, she actively promotes socioeconomic opportunities, allocating minimal but intentional portions to HUBZone and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business concerns. Her contracting patterns reflect a balanced approach—prioritizing competition while advancing federal small business goals through targeted set-asides and mentor-protégé engagement. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 336413, overseeing the procurement of other aircraft parts and auxiliary equipment, with a secondary emphasis on aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing under NAICS 336412. She specializes in sourcing flight-critical components, avionics support systems, and propulsion subsystems, demonstrating deep familiarity with aerospace manufacturing standards, technical specifications, and supply chain resilience requirements.
