Charnice Johnson supports the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (00040) within the U.S. Coast Guard, playing a critical role in advancing the agency’s mission to sustain and modernize its maritime fleet. She manages complex acquisitions for shipboard systems, maintenance services, and mission-critical equipment, ensuring operational readiness across the Coast Guard’s cutter and vessel infrastructure. Her work directly enables lifecycle management of naval assets through procurement of specialized hardware, engineering services, and repair capabilities aligned with Coast Guard operational requirements and federal acquisition regulations. Johnson maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on mid-tier and specialized vendors capable of delivering marine electrical systems, nautical instrumentation, industrial valves, and vessel repair services. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical proficiency, quality assurance, and performance-based outcomes, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in compliance and mission alignment. Her procurement portfolio demonstrates a balanced approach to socioeconomic goals, with approximately one-third of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a deliberate commitment to small business participation. While the majority of acquisitions remain open to all competitors, her consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic emphasis on expanding vendor diversity and enhancing resilience within the Coast Guard’s supply base. Johnson’s technical focus centers on NAICS 335312 (Motor and Generator Manufacturing), 334511 (Nautical System and Instrument Manufacturing), and 332911 (Industrial Valve Manufacturing), indicating deep expertise in procuring propulsion components, marine navigation systems, and fluid control hardware. She also regularly engages engineering services firms under NAICS 541330 to support system integration and technical validation, reinforcing her domain knowledge in maritime electro-mechanical systems and vessel modernization.
