Juliette Y. Boone serves as a Contract Specialist within the Telecommunications Division (HC1013) of the Defense Information Systems Agency, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to secure and modernize the Department of Defense’s global communications infrastructure. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts focused on network modernization, secure virtual private network deployment, and interoperable telecom solutions, ensuring resilient connectivity across military and federal operations. Her work directly supports DISA’s strategic imperatives to replace legacy systems with next-generation, cyber-secure telecommunications architectures, employing full and open competition alongside targeted socioeconomic set-asides to meet both operational and policy objectives. Juliette maintains established working relationships with key contractors including AT&T Technical Services Company, Inc., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, Liberty Communications, Inc., AOC Connect LLC, and Norfolk Fiber, LLC. These partnerships reflect a blend of large-tier systems integrators and specialized fiber and telecom service providers, underscoring her reliance on vendors with proven expertise in defense-grade network engineering, managed services, and secure infrastructure deployment. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting, robust technical evaluations, and lifecycle support requirements to ensure mission continuity and cyber resilience. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to small business participation, with nearly 50% of awards issued as no set-aside, while actively utilizing Total Small Business Set-Asides (28.6%), HUBZone (14.3%), and 8(a) competed set-asides (7.1%). This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster competition, promote economic inclusion, and leverage the agility of small businesses in delivering innovative telecom solutions without compromising mission readiness. Juliette’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services) and 541511 (Custom Computer Programming Services), with significant activity in administrative management consulting (541611) and engineering services (541330).
