Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of nonresidential leasing contracts, ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, and aligning real property acquisitions with DHS operational readiness goals.

While specific contractor relationships are not publicly enumerated, Johnson’s procurement activity centers on lessors of nonresidential buildings, indicating consistent engagement with commercial real estate entities, property management firms, and facility service providers who meet stringent federal security and operational standards. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for direct, full-and-open competition, with no set-asides utilized, suggesting a focus on mission-critical timelines and facility availability over socioeconomic preferences. This approach prioritizes rapid deployment and operational continuity over targeted small business participation.
