Monica Johnson

Monica Johnson serves as a key procurement lead within the Defense Logistics Agency’s Energy Directorate, responsible for managing strategic acquisitions of petroleum-based fuels and related energy logistics infrastructure. Her work directly supports the agency’s mission to ensure uninterrupted fuel supply for global military operations, with a focus on securing reliable, scalable energy sources through compliant federal contracting practices. She primarily handles sole-source and competitive acquisitions under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, often involving complex fuel delivery, storage, and distribution contracts that require coordination with international suppliers and domestic logistics partners. Monica maintains a concentrated working relationship with Qatar Fuel (WOQOD) and United Capital Investments Group, both of which are critical to sustaining long-term fuel supply chain resilience. These partnerships are characterized by consistent, high-volume procurement cycles requiring rigorous performance monitoring, international regulatory alignment, and adherence to DoD energy security protocols. Her contracting approach emphasizes reliability, operational continuity, and supply chain diversification, with a preference for established vendors with proven capacity to deliver under austere and expeditionary conditions. Her procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly dedicated to small business set-asides, with 95% of awards structured under FAR 19.5 Total Small Business Set-Aside criteria. This reflects a deliberate and sustained commitment to fostering economic opportunity within the defense industrial base, prioritizing small businesses capable of supporting fuel logistics, transportation, and ancillary energy services. She actively promotes participation from small disadvantaged, veteran-owned, and HUBZone firms, aligning with broader DoD socioeconomic goals. Monica’s expertise is singularly focused on NAICS 324110—Petroleum Refineries—reflecting her specialization in procuring refined petroleum products, jet fuel, diesel, and related fuel handling systems. Her acquisitions involve technical specifications for fuel quality, storage compatibility, and transportation safety standards, requiring deep familiarity with MIL-STD and ASTM protocols. She operates at the intersection of energy security, supply chain logistics, and regulatory compliance, ensuring that every contract supports the readiness of the U.S. armed forces.
