Preston Johnson

Preston Johnson serves as a Contract Specialist within the Department of the Air Force’s FA5004 354 Cons Pk facility, where he manages the acquisition of critical infrastructure and operational support services essential to maintaining airfield readiness and expeditionary mission capabilities. His portfolio encompasses complex construction, facilities support, and industrial maintenance contracts that ensure the resilience and functionality of remote and austere operational environments. Johnson is responsible for developing solicitation strategies, evaluating technical proposals, and ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations, with a focus on mission-critical, time-sensitive procurements that directly enable aerospace operations. He maintains a consistent working relationship with COMBAT MEDICAL SYSTEMS LLC, a key contractor delivering specialized infrastructure and support services tailored to expeditionary requirements. His contracting patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven experience in military-grade construction and rapid-deployment systems, while also fostering partnerships with small businesses capable of delivering niche technical solutions under tight timelines. Johnson’s approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and contractor accountability in high-risk, low-margin operational zones. Johnson demonstrates a balanced commitment to socioeconomic programs, with nearly 50% of his acquisitions conducted as open competitions and nearly 40% set aside for total small business participation under FAR 19.5. He actively leverages 8(a) competed set-asides, reflecting a strategic emphasis on empowering disadvantaged small businesses with the technical capacity to support complex military infrastructure needs. His primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), 237130 (Power and Communication Line Construction), and 561210 (Facilities Support Services), with significant activity in construction sand and gravel mining and roofing. This reflects deep expertise in expeditionary airfield sustainment, utility infrastructure, and facility maintenance—domains requiring specialized knowledge of military engineering standards and rapid-response logistics.
