Lt Aaron Johnson

Lt. Johnson serves as a key procurement lead within the FA4528 5 Cons, a unit of the Department of the Air Force responsible for sustaining and modernizing critical infrastructure at Air Force installations. In this role, Lt. Johnson manages acquisition programs focused on facility construction, building systems integration, and operational support services, with particular emphasis on electrical, plumbing, HVAC, and roofing systems. Their work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure mission-ready infrastructure through compliant, efficient contracting practices. Lt. Johnson typically handles competitive sealed bids and negotiated contracts under FAR Part 36 for commercial and institutional construction, often coordinating with civil engineering and facilities management teams to align procurement with installation-wide capital improvement plans. Lt. Johnson maintains a consistent working relationship with MCKENZIE CONSTRUCTION & SITE DEVELOPMENT LLC, a primary contractor for site development and facility upgrades. This partnership reflects a preference for experienced, locally-based vendors capable of delivering complex construction and maintenance services under tight operational timelines. The contracting pattern indicates a reliance on established performers with proven track records in military facility work, while still maintaining open competition to ensure value and compliance. A strong commitment to small business participation defines Lt. Johnson’s contracting approach, with 88.9% of awards structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity among small, disadvantaged, and service-disabled veteran-owned firms, aligning with Department of the Air Force socioeconomic goals. The consistent use of set-asides demonstrates a proactive effort to broaden the vendor base and enhance resilience in the defense supply chain. Despite the agency’s infrastructure focus, procurement activity shows an unusual concentration in NAICS categories such as 334210 (telephone apparatus manufacturing) and 336110 (automobile manufacturing), suggesting specialized procurement for communication systems, vehicle maintenance equipment, and related components. Additional activity in 332994 (ordnance accessories) and 337215 (shelving and locker manufacturing) indicates niche requirements for secure storage, armory upgrades, and logistics support infrastructure, revealing a technical domain expertise in integrated facility systems beyond traditional construction.
