Michelle Johnson

Michelle L. Johnson serves as a Purchasing Agent responsible for managing the acquisition of professional and management development training services. In this role, she ensures alignment with agency training objectives and federal procurement regulations, overseeing the full lifecycle of contract actions from requirement development to award and administration. Her work directly supports workforce capacity building by securing high-quality, performance-based training solutions that enhance organizational effectiveness and employee competency development. She routinely handles sole-source and competitive solicitations under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a focus on deliverables that meet established learning outcomes and evaluation criteria. While no specific contractor relationships are currently identified in the procurement record, Johnson engages with a broad spectrum of vendors specializing in corporate training, leadership development, and instructional design services. Her procurement approach emphasizes competitive bidding, vendor responsiveness, and compliance with performance metrics, fostering transparent and accountable vendor partnerships. She evaluates proposals based on technical merit, past performance, and cost-effectiveness, ensuring value-driven outcomes without reliance on preferred vendor lists. Johnson’s procurement activity is exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of her acquisitions conducted under full and open competition. This reflects a strategic decision to prioritize broad market access and maximum competition over socioeconomic set-asides, ensuring the widest possible pool of qualified providers can compete for training contracts. While she does not currently prioritize 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs, her process remains compliant with all small business participation goals and encourages voluntary small business involvement through open solicitations. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 611430—Professional and Management Development Training—encompassing leadership programs, executive coaching, compliance training, and organizational development services. She procures both in-person and virtual learning solutions, including customized curriculum development, e-learning platforms, and certified instructor-led workshops. Her domain expertise lies in identifying training providers with proven methodologies, measurable outcomes, and scalable delivery models to meet evolving workforce needs.
