Larry W. Johnson

Larry T. Johnson serves as an Acquisition Specialist responsible for managing complex procurement actions across specialized industrial manufacturing sectors. He plays a critical role in ensuring timely and compliant acquisition of mission-critical mechanical components, aligning procurement activities with federal contracting regulations and agency operational needs. His portfolio primarily involves competitive sealed bidding and negotiated procurements under FAR Part 15, with a strong emphasis on technical evaluation and source selection for precision-engineered parts. Johnson’s work supports the acquisition of high-reliability components used in defense, energy, and industrial infrastructure systems. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identifiable, Johnson’s procurement patterns indicate a preference for established manufacturers with proven technical capability and quality assurance systems, particularly those certified under ISO 9001 or AS9100. He engages with a broad base of industrial suppliers, including both large-tier manufacturers and small businesses capable of meeting stringent performance and inspection requirements. His approach emphasizes vendor performance history, technical compliance, and supply chain resilience over sole-source reliance. Johnson’s contracting activity reflects a strong orientation toward open competition, with 96.5% of acquisitions conducted without set-aside restrictions. Only 3.5% of awards are structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, indicating a deliberate focus on merit-based selection rather than socioeconomic preferences. While he does not routinely utilize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB set-asides, his minimal use of small business set-asides reflects a technical procurement environment where specialized manufacturing capability is the primary selection criterion. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 332991 (Ball and Roller Bearing Manufacturing), accounting for 86% of his activity, followed by mechanical power transmission equipment (333613) and industrial valve manufacturing (332911). He routinely acquires precision bearings, couplings, gears, and hydraulic components used in heavy machinery and high-stress environments. Johnson’s expertise centers on mechanical systems requiring tight tolerances, fatigue resistance, and compliance with military or industrial specifications such as ANSI, SAE, or MIL-STD.
