Jesse Johnson

Jesse Johnson serves as a key procurement professional within the Public Buildings Service’s R8 Acquisition Management Division, overseeing the acquisition of facility infrastructure and operational support services for federal buildings and land ports of entry. Responsible for managing design-build construction and facility modernization contracts, Johnson ensures compliance with federal standards for safety, efficiency, and sustainability. His work directly supports the agency’s mission to maintain and upgrade the nation’s federal physical infrastructure through integrated project delivery methods and performance-based contracting. He routinely handles complex, multi-trade construction and renovation procurements requiring coordination across architectural, mechanical, and electrical disciplines. Johnson maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors specializing in commercial building construction and building systems installation, including LEA MARIE LLC, SECURITYHUNTER, INC., MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, and HANDYMAN NATION INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for regional and niche vendors with proven expertise in federal facility upgrades. His contracting approach emphasizes reliability, quality control, and timely delivery, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in performance metrics and compliance with federal construction codes. A staunch advocate for small business participation, Johnson consistently prioritizes Small Business Set-Aside procurements under FAR 19.5, with over 98% of his awards directed to small businesses. This reflects a deliberate socioeconomic strategy to maximize opportunities for small, locally based firms, particularly those certified under the SBA’s small business programs. His contracting patterns demonstrate a strong alignment with federal goals to promote equitable access and economic inclusion in federal construction markets. His technical focus centers on NAICS 236220 (Commercial and Institutional Building Construction), with significant activity in electrical (238210), HVAC (238220), painting (238320), and site preparation (238910) trades. Johnson’s expertise lies in managing integrated construction projects that require coordinated delivery of building systems, ensuring seamless integration of infrastructure upgrades across federal facilities.
