Amanpreet Johal

Amanpreet Johal serves as a key procurement specialist within the Department of the Navy, supporting the acquisition of mission-critical instrumentation, precision equipment, and specialized maintenance services essential to naval readiness. Though holding no formal title, their role as a secondary contact involves coordinating complex procurements across technical domains critical to fleet diagnostics, weapons system integration, and environmental monitoring. Johal facilitates the acquisition of analytical laboratory instruments, semiconductor components, and engineered systems that sustain operational superiority, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s modernization priorities for cyber-resilient sensor networks and high-precision maritime systems. Johal maintains consistent procurement relationships with prime defense contractors including RTX Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, Electric Boat Corporation, Huntington Ingalls Inc, and Bath Iron Works Corporation. These partnerships reflect a focus on large-scale, systems-integrated solutions for naval platforms, with an emphasis on engineered systems requiring rigorous compliance with military specifications. The working relationship is characterized by structured collaboration on technical requirements, lifecycle support, and delivery of mission-essential hardware and software systems under firm-fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract vehicles. Set-aside preferences indicate a primary reliance on full and open competition, with 80% of acquisitions conducted without socioeconomic set-asides. However, Johal consistently allocates 20% of procurement activity to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a measured but deliberate commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical performance standards or technical complexity requirements. The procurement focus centers on NAICS 541380 (Testing Laboratories and Services), 334513 (Industrial Process Instrument Manufacturing), 811210 (Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair), and 532490 (Commercial Machinery Leasing). This reflects deep expertise in procuring calibrated sensors, industrial control instrumentation, maintenance services for high-value naval assets, and leased precision equipment critical to shipyard and laboratory operations. Johal’s domain knowledge spans maritime systems engineering, test and validation protocols, and the lifecycle support of defense-grade instrumentation.
