Kimberly Johnson

Kimberly Johnson supports the Internal Revenue Service’s Operation Services division in managing critical procurement activities aligned with the agency’s mission to modernize tax administration and enhance operational efficiency. She oversees the acquisition of technical and professional services essential to sustaining and advancing the IRS’s digital infrastructure, compliance systems, and administrative workflows. Her portfolio primarily includes information services, management consulting, and custom software development contracts, ensuring that procurement strategies directly support the modernization of tax processing capabilities and internal process optimization. Johnson maintains established relationships with leading information and analytical service providers, including WEST PUBLISHING CORPORATION and BLOOMBERG INDUSTRY GROUP, INC., reflecting a preference for vendors with deep expertise in legal, regulatory, and tax data analytics. Her contracting patterns emphasize long-term, high-integrity vendor partnerships that deliver reliable, scalable, and compliant solutions for mission-critical IRS operations. These relationships are typically structured through indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and performance-based contracts to ensure flexibility and accountability. Her procurement approach prioritizes open competition, with 90% of acquisitions conducted without set-asides, reflecting a focus on broad market engagement and technical merit. However, she consistently allocates 10% of opportunities to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a balanced commitment to fostering small business participation while maintaining rigorous standards for capability and performance. Johnson’s primary NAICS focus areas include 519130 (Other Information Services) and 519290 (Web Search Portals and All Other Information Services), indicating strong demand for digital information platforms and data aggregation tools. She also regularly procures services under 519210 (Libraries and Archives) and 813920 (Professional Organizations), underscoring expertise in legal research, tax code interpretation, and institutional knowledge management systems. Her technical domain centers on integrating authoritative legal and tax data into operational workflows to support enforcement and taxpayer services.
