La Shura M. Johnson serves as a Contract Specialist within the W2SD Endist Baltimore office under the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal procurement actions for critical infrastructure and facility support programs. She executes complex contracting actions for construction, civil engineering, and environmental remediation projects across military installations and federal properties, ensuring compliance with FAR, DFARS, and Army-specific regulatory frameworks.

Johnson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of experienced contractors, including GRUNLEY CONSTRUCTION CO., INC., GREAT LAKES DREDGE & DOCK CO, LLC, MATTHEWS GROUP INC, CURTIN MARITIME CORP, and CHEROENHAKA NOTTOWAY ENTERPRISES, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for firms with proven expertise in heavy civil construction, marine works, and environmental services. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes, risk mitigation, and contractor accountability, fostering long-term collaborative relationships grounded in technical competency and regulatory adherence. Johnson’s procurement portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside orientation, indicating a strategic focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This pattern suggests an emphasis on mission-critical delivery timelines and technical capacity over socioeconomic targeting, with awards awarded based on best value, past performance, and compliance with stringent federal construction and engineering standards. Her primary procurement focus is centered on NAICS 325180—Other Basic Inorganic Chemical Manufacturing—indicating specialized acquisitions related to chemical treatments, soil stabilization agents, corrosion inhibitors, and environmental remediation compounds used in military infrastructure projects. This niche specialization underscores her technical expertise in procuring industrial chemical solutions critical to long-term facility integrity and environmental compliance.
