Randall Johnson

Randall Johnson serves as a procurement specialist within the Washington Contracting Office of the National Park Service, where he manages acquisitions critical to preserving the nation’s cultural and natural heritage. His responsibilities include planning, soliciting, and awarding contracts for infrastructure improvements, visitor facility enhancements, and environmental stewardship projects. He specializes in complex, mission-driven procurements that require precise technical specifications and compliance with federal environmental and accessibility standards. His work directly supports the NPS’s strategic goals of maintaining historic structures, restoring ecosystems, and ensuring equitable public access through high-quality, durable construction and design solutions. Johnson maintains consistent working relationships with two primary contractors: Pennsylvania & Southern Railway LLC and L1 Enterprises Incorporated. These vendors are frequently engaged for specialized architectural and signage work, reflecting a pattern of repeat engagement based on proven technical capability and reliability. His procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor partnerships built on performance history and adherence to NPS design and preservation guidelines, ensuring that delivered solutions align with the agency’s heritage conservation mission. His contracting portfolio reflects a balanced commitment to small business participation, with approximately half of his acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate strategy to foster economic opportunity for small, locally-based firms while maintaining competitive rigor. The remaining half are open competitions, allowing larger contractors with niche expertise to compete when specialized capabilities are required. Johnson’s procurement focus is concentrated in two key NAICS categories: 337212 (Custom Architectural Woodwork and Millwork Manufacturing) and 339950 (Sign Manufacturing). He routinely procures custom-fabricated woodwork for historic building restoration, interpretive displays, and visitor center fixtures, as well as durable, ADA-compliant signage systems designed for outdoor environmental exposure. His technical expertise lies in integrating heritage-sensitive design with modern durability standards, ensuring functional longevity without compromising cultural integrity.
