Julius Bradshaw

Julius Bradshaw serves as a key procurement professional within the Office of Government Contracting Services at the Administration for Children and Families, supporting the Department of Health and Human Services’ mission to strengthen child welfare systems and expand access to critical social services. He manages the full lifecycle of acquisitions for management consulting, emergency relief, and program support services, ensuring alignment with federal priorities in child protection, case management modernization, and residential care infrastructure. His work directly enables the agency to deploy evidence-based interventions and operational enhancements through competitive contracting mechanisms. Bradshaw cultivates strategic relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including management consulting firms specializing in public sector program design and emergency service providers with field-based operational capacity. He frequently engages with small businesses and certified socioeconomically disadvantaged contractors, fostering long-term partnerships that align with the agency’s mission-driven outcomes. His contracting approach emphasizes performance-based requirements, outcome metrics, and vendor accountability to ensure service quality and community impact. His procurement patterns reflect a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 43% of awards directed to 8(a) competed contracts, signaling a deliberate preference for socioeconomically disadvantaged enterprises. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to general competition, his consistent use of 8(a) set-asides demonstrates a proactive effort to expand economic opportunity among underrepresented firms in the social services sector. Bradshaw’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541618 (Other Management Consulting Services) and 541611 (Administrative Management Consulting), where he sources expertise in child welfare system redesign and organizational capacity building. He also regularly procures emergency and relief services under 624230, as well as specialized video production under 512110 to support public awareness and training initiatives. His technical domain expertise centers on social service delivery systems, program evaluation frameworks, and crisis response infrastructure.
