Lisa M. Johnson-Stevens

Lisa Johnson-Stevens serves as a Contracting Officer/Specialist within the W6QK Acc-ri under the Department of the Army, where she plays a critical role in securing industrial base capabilities essential to national defense readiness. She manages the acquisition of ordnance components, precision-fabricated metal products, machine tools, and battlefield support systems, ensuring timely delivery of mission-critical hardware for weapons systems and ammunition production. Her portfolio spans complex procurement actions requiring deep technical understanding of manufacturing processes and supply chain resilience, aligning directly with the agency’s mission to modernize and sustain the Army’s industrial infrastructure. Johnson-Stevens maintains consistent working relationships with key industrial contractors including AMD INTERNATIONAL TECHNOLOGIES LLC, FAXON MACHINING, LLC, PALANTIR USG INC, and Allied Metal Tech, LLC, reflecting a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in precision machining, sheet metal fabrication, and defense-grade software integration. Her contracting patterns emphasize performance-based outcomes and technical compliance, fostering long-term partnerships with firms possessing specialized certifications and quality assurance systems compliant with MIL-STD and AS9100 standards. Her procurement strategy prioritizes open competition, with 82.8% of awards issued under no set-aside provisions, while maintaining a robust 17.2% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. Though she does not routinely deploy 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB preferences, her consistent use of small business set-asides demonstrates a deliberate effort to expand the defense industrial base through inclusive contracting practices. Her primary NAICS focus areas include iron and steel forging, bolt and nut manufacturing, sheet metal work, and measuring and controlling device production—domains requiring high-precision fabrication and stringent military specifications. Johnson-Stevens specializes in procuring mission-critical components for ordnance systems, demonstrating deep expertise in metallurgical processes, tooling lifecycle management, and defense manufacturing supply chain integrity.
