Jasmine Johnson

Jasmine Johnson supports the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation in procuring critical aviation components essential to the readiness and sustainment of U.S. military aircraft systems. She manages a high-volume portfolio of acquisitions focused on aircraft parts, auxiliary equipment, and specialized manufacturing solutions that ensure operational continuity across legacy and modern platforms. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to maintain supply chain resilience, mitigate technical obsolescence, and deliver rapid logistics support to combatant commands. She handles complex, technical solicitations under FAR and DFARS frameworks, often involving long-lead items, certified aviation-grade materials, and military-specification components requiring stringent quality assurance and traceability. While specific contractor names are not publicly identifiable, Johnson engages with a broad base of industrial suppliers, including Tier 1 and Tier 2 manufacturers of aircraft subsystems, precision machined parts, and electronic avionics components. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established industrial base partners with proven capabilities in aerospace-grade production, AS9100 certification, and defense supply chain compliance. She frequently collaborates with vendors possessing specialized tooling, reverse engineering expertise, and approved repair station designations to address obsolescence challenges and sustain aging airframes. Johnson’s procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 96.5% of her acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting the technical complexity and limited supplier base for many aviation components. However, she actively supports small business participation through the 3.5% of contracts awarded under total small business set-asides, consistently encouraging eligible firms to compete for opportunities aligned with their capabilities. Her contracting patterns demonstrate a balanced commitment to mission-critical reliability and socioeconomic objectives. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—encompassing non-engine airframe components, landing gear parts, hydraulic actuators, and electrical distribution systems. She also regularly procures machine tooling (333517) and engine-related parts (336412), demonstrating deep technical familiarity with aerospace manufacturing standards, certification requirements, and supply chain risk mitigation strategies.
