Annita Wooten

Annita Johnson serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of complex procurements, from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration. She plays a critical role in ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing mission-critical capabilities for her organization. Her acquisitions primarily involve high-precision manufacturing and advanced technology systems, with a focus on aerospace propulsion components, specialized metal fabrications, and electronic computing hardware. Annita’s expertise lies in structuring solicitations that balance technical rigor with competitive fairness, ensuring timely delivery of mission-enabling goods while maintaining strict adherence to FAR and agency policy. Annita cultivates relationships with a diverse base of industrial contractors, including Tier 1 aerospace manufacturers, niche metal fabricators, and electronics assembly firms. She consistently engages with vendors capable of meeting stringent quality and certification standards such as AS9100 and ITAR compliance. Her working relationships are characterized by proactive pre-solicitation outreach, clear technical requirement definition, and collaborative problem-solving during contract performance. She prioritizes vendors with proven track records in precision manufacturing and supply chain resilience, fostering long-term partnerships that support sustained operational readiness. Annita demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with 40% of her awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. While she does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, her procurement strategy actively encourages small business prime performance through clear eligibility criteria and accessible solicitation language. Her approach reflects a deliberate effort to expand the pool of qualified small manufacturers capable of supporting defense and aerospace supply chains. Her primary procurement focus centers on NAICS 336412 for aircraft engine and engine parts manufacturing, complemented by significant activity in 332999 for fabricated metal products and 334111 for electronic computer manufacturing. She specializes in procuring mission-critical components such as turbine blades, custom enclosures, and embedded computing systems, requiring deep technical understanding of materials science, thermal management, and electronic integration. Annita’s domain expertise enables her to effectively evaluate technical proposals and ensure contractor capability aligns with stringent performance and reliability standards.
