De-Leashawn R. Johnson serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA7014 office, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of professional services acquisitions critical to sustaining Air Force operational readiness. His work centers on procuring administrative management consulting, systems engineering and technical assistance (SETA), and enterprise IT modernization services that directly support mission-critical functions. Johnson ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract vehicles with the agency’s strategic priorities in cybersecurity, analytics, and air transportation support. He plays a pivotal role in translating technical requirements into enforceable, performance-based contracts that deliver high-value outcomes across the Air Force’s sustainment and modernization initiatives. Johnson maintains established relationships with key contractors including SIGMATECH, INC. and PURDUE UNIVERSITY, both of which provide high-tier technical and management consulting services. His procurement patterns reflect a preference for long-term, performance-driven partnerships with firms possessing deep domain expertise in defense-sector operations. These relationships are characterized by consistent recompete cycles and task order mobilization under existing Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contracts, emphasizing quality of deliverables over transactional engagements. Johnson’s contracting portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside orientation, indicating a focus on full and open competition to secure the most qualified technical and managerial resources. While socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB are not currently utilized in his acquisitions, his approach prioritizes capability and compliance over socioeconomic categorization, ensuring mission-critical needs are met with the highest available expertise. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 541611 (Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services), which accounts for two-thirds of his activity, alongside NAICS 488190 (Other Support Activities for Air Transportation). He routinely procures services related to process optimization, mission analytics, cybersecurity integration, and airfield operations support, demonstrating specialized expertise in defense-oriented professional services and technical assistance frameworks.
