Jessica Johnson

Jessica Johnson serves as a key procurement professional within the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, supporting the development and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. She manages complex engineering and technical acquisitions critical to modernizing airborne sensor suites, electronic warfare systems, and mission-critical avionics. Her work directly enables the agency’s mission to ensure air superiority through integrated, next-generation aircraft subsystems. Johnson primarily handles sole-source and competitive engineering services contracts, ensuring technical rigor and operational readiness across legacy and emerging platforms. She maintains strong, long-term relationships with leading defense contractors including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships are centered on high-precision engineering, systems integration, and technical analysis for naval aircraft modernization. Johnson’s procurement approach emphasizes technical capability over cost alone, fostering collaborative relationships with vendors possessing deep domain expertise in avionics, communications, and electronic warfare systems. Johnson’s contracting activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions issued under no set-aside classifications. This indicates a focus on technical excellence and mission-critical performance rather than socioeconomic preferences, aligning with the agency’s need for specialized, non-commoditized engineering services. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she ensures fair and transparent competition among all qualified industry partners. Her procurement focus is exclusively under NAICS 541330 (Engineering Services), reflecting deep specialization in technical consulting, systems engineering, and R&D support for naval aviation platforms. She procures services related to avionics integration, signal processing, mission system testing, and sustainment engineering—domains requiring advanced aerospace and defense expertise. Her work ensures that cutting-edge capabilities are fielded reliably and in alignment with Navy air warfare requirements.
