Emily Johnson

Emily Johnson serves as a key procurement lead at Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane Division (N00164), where she manages complex acquisitions supporting the Department of the Navy’s advanced electronic, electro-optical, and ordnance systems programs. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle of contract execution for mission-critical technologies, including signal processing systems, electronic warfare suites, and precision ordnance components. She ensures compliance with defense acquisition regulations while aligning procurement strategies with the agency’s priorities in modernizing naval sensing, communications, and weapons platforms for surface and expeditionary forces. Johnson maintains strong, sustained relationships with prime contractors including Lockheed Martin Corporation, Programs Management Analytics & Technologies Inc., and Integrity Defense Services Inc., who provide integrated engineering, systems integration, and technical support services. She also regularly engages specialized manufacturers such as Black Hills Ammunition Inc. and McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC for ordnance production and site infrastructure needs. Her contracting approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based outcomes, and long-term vendor collaboration to ensure operational readiness and system sustainment. Johnson’s procurement portfolio reflects a clear preference for full and open competition, with 100% of awards issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a strategic focus on capability-driven sourcing rather than socioeconomic set-asides, prioritizing technical excellence and mission urgency over socioeconomic categorization, though small business participation may occur organically through subcontracting. Her primary NAICS focus areas include 332994 (Small Arms, Ordnance, and Ordnance Accessories Manufacturing), 332992 (Small Arms Ammunition Manufacturing), and 325920 (Explosives Manufacturing), underscoring deep expertise in defense-specific manufacturing and explosive ordnance systems. She also procures specialized measuring and control devices (334519) and truck trailer systems (336212) to support field-deployable platforms. Her domain knowledge centers on electro-optical instrumentation, signal intelligence hardware, and ordnance lifecycle management for naval combat systems.
