Kristina Johnson

Kristina Johnson serves as a secondary procurement professional within the Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), supporting the lifecycle acquisition and sustainment of naval aviation systems critical to U.S. Navy and Marine Corps operational readiness. She contributes to the planning, solicitation, and administration of contracts for advanced aircraft components, avionics, and logistical support services, ensuring alignment with NAVAIR’s strategic modernization goals. Her role involves collaboration with senior contracting officers to execute complex procurements under full and open competition, with a focus on technical integrity, compliance, and timely delivery of mission-critical capabilities. Johnson maintains consistent working relationships with prime contractors including Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, Lockheed Martin Corporation, and General Atomics, firms that deliver advanced rotary-wing and fixed-wing platforms, unmanned aerial systems, and integrated weapons solutions. Her procurement activities involve long-term sustainment contracts, technical support services, and systems integration efforts, often requiring close coordination with engineering and logistics teams to ensure interoperability and fleet-wide compatibility. These vendor partnerships are characterized by deep technical engagement and performance-based contracting methodologies. Johnson’s procurement portfolio reflects a strong preference for full and open competition, with no set-aside preferences applied across all awarded contracts. This indicates a focus on technical capability and mission necessity over socioeconomic classifications, aligning with NAVAIR’s priority to secure high-performance, defense-critical systems from the most qualified industry partners regardless of business size or certification status. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 336413 (Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing) and 336411 (Aircraft Manufacturing), with significant activity in avionics and mission systems under 334511. She routinely oversees acquisitions for flight control systems, radar integration, propulsion components, and air transportation support services, demonstrating specialized expertise in advanced aerospace engineering domains and complex defense supply chain management.
