Dana L. Johnson

Dana L. Johnson serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4897 366 Cons Pkp unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that sustain air base operational readiness. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for advanced communications systems, facility construction, and specialized maintenance services, ensuring alignment with DoD standards for resilience, security, and interoperability. She routinely handles complex procurements under FAR Part 15, including competitive sealed bidding and negotiated contracts, with a focus on modernizing radio, broadcasting, and tactical communication infrastructure essential to air operations. Johnson maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including TCG Construction Inc., LDIA Holdings, LLC, C-2 Construction Inc., Asphalt Preservation, LLC, and AES Systems Inc., reflecting a balanced portfolio of construction, civil works, and technical services vendors. Her procurement patterns indicate a preference for established firms with proven expertise in military-grade infrastructure and communications systems, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in compliance, performance, and technical reliability. Her contracting approach prioritizes broad market access, with 66.7% of awards issued under no set-aside conditions and 33.3% designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. While she does not exclusively favor socioeconomic categories like 8(a) or HUBZone, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate commitment to expanding opportunities for qualified small entities within the defense construction and communications sectors. Her primary NAICS focus lies in 334220 for radio and wireless communications equipment manufacturing, complemented by specialized procurements in custom computer programming (541511), electrical instrumentation (334515), and facility-related services. This technical alignment underscores her expertise in acquiring mission-enabling systems that support secure, high-performance air base communications and infrastructure modernization.
