Beverly P Johnson

Beverly P. Johnson serves as a Contract Specialist within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), where she plays a critical role in managing the acquisition lifecycle for naval aviation systems. Her responsibilities include developing solicitation documents, conducting source selection, negotiating contract terms, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations for complex aerospace programs. She supports NAVAIR’s mission to deliver and sustain advanced carrier-based and expeditionary aircraft, weapons systems, and avionics by executing full-spectrum contract actions—from initial requirements validation through contract closeout. Her portfolio primarily encompasses major defense acquisition programs involving aircraft manufacturing, propulsion systems, and auxiliary aviation equipment. Johnson maintains consistent working relationships with leading defense prime contractors, including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics. These partnerships involve the procurement of high-performance military aircraft, unmanned aerial systems, and mission-critical avionics components. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, risk mitigation, and performance-based outcomes, often coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to align contract deliverables with operational readiness requirements. She frequently engages with industry partners on long-term sustainment and modernization initiatives for naval air fleets. Johnson’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her awards issued under no set-aside classifications. She does not routinely utilize socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, instead prioritizing full and open competition to ensure access to the most capable and technologically advanced suppliers in the aerospace sector. Her primary procurement focus lies within NAICS 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), and 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing). She specializes in acquiring integrated flight systems, turbine engines, flight control hardware, and support equipment critical to naval aviation readiness, demonstrating deep expertise in aerospace engineering procurement and systems integration.
