Dane Johnson

Dane Johnson serves as a key procurement lead within the DSC Contracting Services Division of the National Park Service, overseeing complex construction and engineering acquisitions critical to preserving and modernizing the nation’s protected lands. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of contracts for infrastructure rehabilitation, utility upgrades, and historic preservation projects, Johnson ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while advancing the agency’s mission to sustain ecologically sensitive and remote park assets. His portfolio primarily includes large-scale civil engineering and building construction efforts requiring technical precision and environmental stewardship. Johnson maintains consistent working relationships with leading infrastructure firms including AECOM Technical Services, Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Johnson, Mirmiran & Thompson, HDR Engineering, and McKenzie Construction & Site Development. These partnerships reflect a preference for established contractors with proven expertise in historic preservation, water and sewer system rehabilitation, and heavy civil engineering. His procurement approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical compliance, and contractor reliability across challenging field conditions. While the majority of his acquisitions—72.7%—are conducted as full and open competitions, Johnson actively supports small business participation through targeted set-asides. He routinely awards contracts under the Total Small Business Set-Aside program (18.2%) and prioritizes HUBZone and Women-Owned Small Business concerns, reflecting a balanced commitment to socioeconomic goals without compromising mission-critical delivery timelines. His procurement focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), with significant activity in architectural services (541310) and utility infrastructure (237130). Johnson specializes in acquiring services related to structural rehabilitation, plumbing and HVAC systems, and site development for visitor facilities, demonstrating deep domain expertise in preserving national heritage through resilient, code-compliant construction solutions.
