Demetrica Johnson

Demetrica Johnson supports the Farm Production and Conservation Business Center’s acquisition mission within the U.S. Department of Agriculture, facilitating the procurement of specialized technical and engineering services critical to land conservation, soil health initiatives, and rural resource planning. Though her official title is not publicly listed, her role centers on managing full-cycle contracting actions for mission-critical services that enable field-level conservation programs, easement restoration, and data-driven agricultural decision support systems. She routinely handles complex service-based acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and Part 37, ensuring alignment with USDA’s strategic goals for sustainable land management and environmental stewardship. Johnson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors, including PROJECTELLA LLC, HOMESTEAD SERVICES, LLC, and JANIE B LLC, all of which provide niche technical services in environmental engineering, conservation planning, and rural infrastructure support. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance-based contracting and outcome-oriented deliverables, fostering reliability and expertise in delivering field-deployed conservation solutions. Her acquisition portfolio is entirely set aside for small businesses under FAR 19.5, reflecting a robust and unwavering commitment to small business participation. She consistently prioritizes small business concerns in all solicitation strategies, ensuring equitable access to federal contracting opportunities for firms capable of delivering specialized conservation and technical services. Johnson’s procurement focus is distributed evenly across four key NAICS categories: 336390 (Other Motor Vehicle Parts Manufacturing), 332710 (Machine Shops), 541191 (Title Abstract and Settlement Offices), and 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services). These reflect a unique blend of engineering, land documentation, and technical consulting services essential to implementing conservation easements, land surveying, and precision agricultural systems. Her expertise lies in bridging technical domains to support USDA’s mission of sustainable land use and rural economic resilience.
