Kevin A, Julien

Kevin A. Julien serves as a Contract Specialist at W4GG Hq US Army Tacom, responsible for managing the full lifecycle acquisition of critical ground vehicle systems and associated components under the Department of Defense. He plays a pivotal role in executing competitive contracting actions that support the modernization, sustainment, and readiness of armored and tactical wheeled platforms. His portfolio includes complex procurements for fluid power systems, structural metal components, analytical instrumentation, and military vehicle manufacturing, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements while aligning with TACOM’s mission of technological superiority in land warfare systems. Julien maintains enduring relationships with key industrial partners including Schutt Industries of Clintonville, ONTIC Engineering & Manufacturing, A&M Aerostuctures, and Bowhead Avionics Manufacturing, LLC. These contractors provide specialized engineering, fabrication, and integration services critical to vehicle survivability and operational performance. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, technical validation, and performance-based acquisition strategies to ensure mission-critical deliverables meet rigorous military standards. His procurement patterns reflect a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 94.1% of awards issued without set-asides. However, he consistently supports small business participation through Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising operational urgency or technical integrity. Julien’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 333996 (fluid power pump and motor manufacturing) and 332312 (fabricated structural metal manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in mechanical and structural systems for armored vehicles. He also procures specialized analytical instrumentation (334516) and technical services (541990) to support vehicle diagnostics and lifecycle sustainment, underscoring his technical fluency across multidisciplinary defense engineering domains.
