Andrew T. Johnson

Andrew T. Johnson serves as a Contracting Officer with the Virginia Contracting Activity (HHM402), a critical procurement arm of the Defense Intelligence Agency under the Department of Defense. In this role, he is responsible for managing the full lifecycle of mission-critical acquisitions that support classified intelligence operations, including the procurement of advanced technical services for data exploitation, systems analysis, and real-time intelligence processing. His portfolio centers on custom software development, systems design, and engineering services that enable secure, high-performance intelligence platforms. Johnson ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract strategies with the agency’s priority to maintain technological superiority in national security operations. Johnson cultivates strategic partnerships with a diverse range of vendors specializing in intelligence technology, with a consistent emphasis on small business participation. While no single contractor dominates his award profile, he actively engages with certified small businesses, particularly those with expertise in secure software development, cyber-enabled systems, and data analytics. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for collaborative, performance-based relationships that prioritize innovation, agility, and mission adaptability over large-scale, legacy vendor dependencies. Johnson maintains a 100% Small Business Set-Aside posture across all solicitations, fully aligning with FAR 19.5 and demonstrating an unwavering commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. He routinely directs opportunities to small businesses, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB concerns, fostering a procurement ecosystem that empowers niche technologists to contribute to high-stakes national intelligence missions. His approach reinforces DOD’s mandate to leverage small business innovation while ensuring operational readiness. His primary procurement focus is on NAICS 541519 (Other Computer Related Services), encompassing custom software engineering, algorithm development, secure data pipelines, and mission-specific systems integration. Johnson specializes in acquiring services that support classified environments, including signal processing, geospatial analysis tools, and secure cloud-enabled architectures for intelligence exploitation. His technical domain expertise lies at the intersection of defense intelligence requirements and cutting-edge commercial IT capabilities.
