Kimberly M Johnson

Kimberly M. Johnson serves as a Contract Specialist within the Public Buildings Service’s R10 Construction Acquisitions Branch at the General Services Administration, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex federal construction acquisitions across Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Responsible for managing the full lifecycle of design-build and construction contracts, she ensures compliance with FAR provisions while advancing the agency’s mission to deliver secure, resilient, and energy-efficient federal facilities. Her portfolio centers on integrated project delivery methods, with a strong emphasis on performance-based specifications and lifecycle cost analysis to support mission-critical infrastructure modernization. Johnson maintains collaborative relationships with a diverse array of prime contractors and subcontractors specializing in commercial and institutional construction, electrical systems, HVAC, plumbing, and roofing. She routinely engages with firms possessing proven experience in federal construction standards, including those with prior GSA or Department of Defense project backgrounds. Her contracting approach emphasizes contractor pre-qualification, performance evaluation, and early vendor engagement to foster innovation and reduce schedule risk. A dedicated advocate for small business participation, Johnson consistently prioritizes socioeconomic set-asides, with approximately half of her acquisitions designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She actively promotes HUBZone and Women-Owned Small Business participation, aligning procurement strategy with federal goals for equitable economic opportunity. Her contracting patterns reflect a deliberate balance between competitive small business engagement and the need for technical capability in high-stakes federal construction environments. Her technical expertise is concentrated in NAICS codes 236220, 238210, and 238220, reflecting deep specialization in commercial building construction, electrical and mechanical systems installation, and roofing. She possesses advanced knowledge of building codes, energy efficiency standards, and resilience requirements critical to federal facilities in remote and seismically active regions, ensuring acquisitions meet both operational and sustainability mandates.
