Julieann Phillips serves as a Contracting Officer within the Support Services Section (SS40) of the Federal Emergency Management Agency under the Department of Homeland Security. She is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions to secure critical administrative, logistical, and human capital support services that sustain FEMA’s operational readiness during national emergencies. Her portfolio centers on professional consulting services, particularly in the domain of marketing research and public opinion polling, ensuring that decision-makers have timely, data-driven insights to guide crisis response strategies. She executes acquisitions under FAR and DHS-specific guidelines, emphasizing compliance, transparency, and mission alignment. Julieann works with a broad range of vendors offering specialized research, data analysis, and communications support services. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages firms with demonstrated expertise in survey design, statistical modeling, and public sentiment analysis. Her contracting approach prioritizes performance-based outcomes and rigorous vendor evaluation, fostering long-term partnerships with contractors who deliver high-quality, actionable intelligence under tight operational timelines. Julieann’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with 100% of her awards issued without set-aside designations. This indicates a strategic focus on maximizing competition among qualified vendors rather than targeting specific socioeconomic categories. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her process remains compliant with all socioeconomic requirements and open to qualified small businesses competing on an equal footing. Her primary NAICS classification is 541910, Marketing Research and Public Opinion Polling, underscoring her specialization in acquiring services that inform emergency management policy through public perception analysis, stakeholder engagement studies, and communication effectiveness assessments. She routinely procures qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, including focus groups, longitudinal surveys, and data visualization tools, demonstrating deep technical familiarity with social science research practices applied to federal operational decision-making.
