Daria Johnson

Daria Johnson serves as a key procurement lead within the Department of Labor’s Cas Division 1 Procurement, where she manages the acquisition of high-precision analytical instrumentation and specialized technical services critical to enforcing labor standards and advancing occupational health monitoring. Her role centers on ensuring regulatory compliance through the procurement of calibrated measurement systems, data collection platforms, and expert consulting services that support evidence-based policy development. She oversees complex acquisitions under FAR Part 15, often requiring technical evaluations and performance-based contract structures to meet the agency’s stringent requirements for accuracy and reliability in workplace safety data. Johnson maintains strategic relationships with leading technical service providers, including Franklin Young International, Inc. and Berkeley Research Group, LLC, both of which deliver specialized analytical support and regulatory compliance consulting. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-driven partnerships with vendors capable of delivering integrated solutions in occupational health monitoring and instrumentation maintenance. These relationships are characterized by collaborative requirement development, rigorous technical oversight, and consistent delivery of mission-critical services under fixed-price and cost-reimbursement contract types. Her procurement strategy is heavily oriented toward small business participation, with 75% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This consistent emphasis reflects a strong commitment to socioeconomic goals, prioritizing qualified small businesses capable of delivering niche technical expertise in measurement systems and compliance analytics. She rarely utilizes no-set-aside contracts, demonstrating a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small, innovative vendors within the federal technical services space. Johnson’s procurement portfolio is exclusively focused on NAICS 334519—Other Measuring and Controlling Device Manufacturing—encompassing the acquisition of calibrated sensors, environmental monitoring equipment, and precision control systems used in workplace hazard detection. Her domain expertise lies in procuring technically complex, standards-compliant instrumentation that supports real-time data collection for labor compliance and occupational safety programs.
