Julia M Brennan

Julia M Brennan, doing business as Textile Conservation Services, is a woman-owned sole proprietorship based in Washington, D.C., that provides assessment, treatment, repair, and fabrication of custom storage for historic textiles and military artifacts to federal museums and cultural agencies as a prime contractor. The vendor competes full-and-open across all recent awards; work under the Marine Corps' indefinite delivery contract carries a total small business set-aside, but delivery orders and Smithsonian purchase orders carry no set-aside designation.

Textile Conservation Services operates in a highly specialized and stable niche. The vendor's $1.3 million combined potential value across 41 prime awards reflects concentrated customer relationships with two anchor agencies — the United States Marine Corps (14 awards, $833 thousand combined potential value) and the Smithsonian Institution (14 awards, $255 thousand combined potential value). These two customers account for 93% of award volume and 97% of combined potential value. The Department of State's Bureau of Overseas Building Operations, the National Park Service, and the Department of the Army round out the active set. Work spans NAICS 711510 (Independent Artists, Writers, and Performers), which anchors 18 of the vendor's recent awards, with secondary classification under All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services for museum conservation support.

The vendor holds two primary parent vehicles: an Indefinite Delivery Contract with the Marine Corps (M0026424D0008), a single-award total small business set-aside running through August 2029 with a $250 thousand ceiling, under which four delivery orders totaling $148 thousand have been issued, and an earlier Marine Corps contract (M0026419D0010) that generated seven task orders worth $184 thousand. Recent representative work includes a $57,811 firm fixed-price delivery order awarded July 1, 2026, by the Marine Corps under M0026424D0008 for textile conservation services at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, Quantico, with completion scheduled June 30, 2027; a $37,600 delivery order from the Marine Corps, awarded July 16, 2025, for treatment, assessment, and repair of historic military uniforms and flags; and three Smithsonian Institution purchase orders totaling $67,300 (awarded October 2, 2023; January 8, 2024; and May 3, 2024) for textile treatment, installation, and deinstallation services.

Activity has remained modest and stable — four awards annually in 2022 and 2024, declining to two in 2025 and one in 2026 — indicating a steady but slow-growth vendor in a narrow market. Only one award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months ($58 thousand), leaving minimal recompete exposure through 2027. The vendor generates no subcontract work and has not held a position on government-wide vehicles or multi-agency IDIQs; federal presence is confined to direct prime relationships with cultural and preservation agencies.
