Iris E Johnson

Iris E. Johnson serves as a Purchasing Agent responsible for managing the acquisition of mission-critical goods and services in support of agency operations. She executes procurement activities in full compliance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring transparency, competition, and fiscal accountability. Her role centers on sourcing nondurable goods and maintenance services through competitive bidding, blanket purchase agreements, and simplified acquisition procedures. Johnson’s acquisitions span a diverse range of commercial and industrial needs, requiring close coordination with internal stakeholders and vendor communities to meet operational timelines and technical specifications. While specific contractor names are not available, Johnson maintains a consistent procurement pattern that emphasizes open competition with a strong preference for small business participation. Her contracting approach fosters relationships with a broad base of vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs, and she routinely engages with wholesalers, repair service providers, and information services firms. Her working relationships reflect a balance between established commercial suppliers and dynamic small businesses, promoting market diversity and resilience in the supply chain. Johnson exhibits a clear commitment to small business utilization, with 33.3% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating active support for small business eligibility and socioeconomic contracting goals. The remaining 66.7% of her acquisitions are conducted without set-aside restrictions, indicating a flexible yet intentional approach to ensuring fair market access while meeting urgent operational requirements. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 424990 (Other Miscellaneous Nondurable Goods Merchant Wholesalers), reflecting a heavy reliance on industrial supplies and consumables. She also regularly procures commercial and industrial machinery repair services under NAICS 811310 and information services under NAICS 519190, showcasing expertise in managing complex, non-standardized service contracts. This technical specialization positions her as a key liaison between operational units and niche vendors in specialized industrial and information service sectors.
