Kristina Johnson

Kristina Johnson serves as a Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she manages complex acquisitions critical to the development, testing, and sustainment of advanced naval aviation systems. Her portfolio centers on mission-critical aircraft subsystems, including avionics, electronic warfare suites, and auxiliary equipment essential to maintaining air superiority and fleet readiness. She oversees full lifecycle contract actions—from solicitation through award and administration—ensuring compliance with DoD acquisition regulations and technical performance requirements. Johnson’s work directly supports the agency’s strategic priorities in modernizing airborne sensor systems and integrating next-generation communications and navigation technologies into legacy and new platforms. She maintains consistent, high-volume relationships with key industry partners including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships reflect a focus on prime contractors with deep expertise in aerospace systems integration, defense electronics, and engineering services. Johnson’s contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical rigor, often requiring rigorous systems engineering and test validation from vendors. Johnson’s procurement activity is entirely non-set-aside, with 100% of her awards issued under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic alignment with the agency’s need for specialized, high-capability vendors capable of meeting stringent military aviation standards, rather than socioeconomic set-asides. While small business participation is not formally prioritized in her portfolio, she ensures all solicitations are structured to allow fair competition among qualified firms. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing), followed by 336412 (Aircraft Engine and Engine Parts Manufacturing), underscoring her technical expertise in airborne hardware and propulsion subsystems. She also frequently procures engineering services under 541330 and computing infrastructure under 518210, demonstrating a multidisciplinary approach to supporting integrated avionics and mission systems.
