Demetrica L. Johnson

Demetrica L. Johnson serves as a Contract Specialist within the W6QK Acc Rrad under the Department of the Army, responsible for managing the acquisition lifecycle of critical industrial base capabilities essential to Army readiness. Her work centers on procuring specialized maintenance, repair, and localized manufacturing services for armored vehicles, heavy equipment, and mission-critical mechanical systems. She executes complex contracting actions under FAR and DFARS guidelines, ensuring compliance with defense industrial base modernization objectives while supporting the sustainment of tracked vehicle platforms and industrial infrastructure. Her portfolio includes both service and supply contracts requiring technical expertise in mechanical systems and defense-specific fabrication processes. Johnson maintains established relationships with key contractors including AEROSPACE & COMMERCIAL TECHNOLOGIES, LLC, YUKON MANAGEMENT, LLC, HARTECH GROUP LLC, CANADIAN COMMERCIAL CORP, and HENTZEN COATINGS INC. These partnerships reflect a mix of domestic industrial suppliers and international commercial entities, primarily engaged in precision machining, coating technologies, and heavy-gauge metal fabrication. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, technical validation, and long-term vendor reliability, fostering collaborative engagements with vendors capable of meeting stringent military specifications for durability and operational readiness. While the majority of her acquisitions—71.4%—are conducted without set-asides, she consistently allocates 28.6% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to small business participation. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns prioritize capable small businesses with proven technical competency in defense manufacturing, rather than relying on preference programs like 8(a) or HUBZone, reflecting a focus on capability over certification alone. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 333249 (Other Industrial Machinery Manufacturing), 336320 (Motor Vehicle Electrical and Electronic Equipment Manufacturing), 325520 (Adhesive Manufacturing), 332811 (Metal Heat Treating), and 332420 (Metal Tank Manufacturing). These reflect deep technical expertise in procuring heat-treated components, specialized coatings, heavy-gauge metal fabrication, and mission-critical adhesives used in armored vehicle sustainment and industrial maintenance operations.
