Johanna Marizan-Ho

Johanna Marizan-Ho serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA8823 Sustainment MCPNT SSC/PKL under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in securing critical logistics and sustainment services for aerospace and space-based defense systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions for non-scheduled chartered air transportation services essential to the movement of classified payloads, spare components, and mission-critical personnel supporting guided missile systems, satellite communications, and global positioning infrastructure. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning contract awards with strategic readiness objectives for the Air Force’s space and missile sustainment enterprise. Marizan-Ho collaborates with a diverse network of certified air cargo carriers and specialized transportation providers who possess the security clearances, operational flexibility, and technical expertise to support time-sensitive, high-risk aerospace logistics. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for experienced vendors capable of operating in austere environments with stringent security and scheduling requirements. She maintains consistent, long-term partnerships with contractors who demonstrate reliability in delivering just-in-time support for classified and unclassified space and missile sustainment missions. Her procurement portfolio is exclusively non-set-aside, reflecting the mission-critical nature and urgency of the services procured, which often require specialized capabilities unavailable through small business channels. While she does not prioritize socioeconomic set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her approach ensures that acquisition decisions are driven solely by operational necessity and technical superiority. Her primary focus lies within NAICS 481212, specializing in nonscheduled chartered freight air transportation services tailored to defense aerospace logistics. She procures aircraft charter services for heavy-lift cargo, expeditionary transport, and rapid deployment of space system components, requiring deep familiarity with Department of Defense transportation protocols, security clearance requirements, and contingency response frameworks. Her expertise ensures seamless integration of air mobility assets into the broader space and missile sustainment ecosystem.
