Deborah M Johnson

Deborah M. Johnson serves as a Contracting Officer responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from market research and solicitation to award and contract administration. She plays a pivotal role in ensuring compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and advancing agency mission objectives through strategic sourcing. Her portfolio primarily encompasses professional services, facilities support, and public safety-related contracts, with a focus on achieving value, efficiency, and regulatory integrity. Johnson routinely handles complex, performance-based acquisitions requiring detailed statement of work development and rigorous source selection procedures. While specific contractor names are not available, her procurement patterns reflect consistent engagement with a diverse pool of vendors, including both large professional services firms and small businesses capable of delivering administrative, operational, and safety-related support. Her working relationships are characterized by a focus on performance outcomes, contract compliance, and long-term vendor reliability. She emphasizes transparent competition and adherence to fair and open procurement practices, fostering trust and accountability across the vendor community. Johnson demonstrates a strong preference for unrestricted competition, with 82.6% of her awards issued under the “No Set-Aside” category. However, she actively supports small business participation, with 17.4% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Her approach reflects a balanced commitment to maximizing competition while ensuring meaningful opportunities for small businesses, though she does not appear to prioritize specialized socioeconomic programs such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Facilities Support Services (561210), Other Justice, Public Order, and Safety Activities (922190), and Administrative Management Consulting Services (541611), indicating deep expertise in procurement for operational support, public safety infrastructure, and management advisory services. She also routinely acquires healthcare-related services, including direct health insurance carriers (524114) and hospital operations (622110), showcasing her technical familiarity with complex service delivery environments across both public safety and health sectors.
