Rebecca A. Johnson

Rebecca A. Johnson serves as a Contract Negotiator with specialized expertise in aerospace procurement, focusing on the acquisition of critical aircraft components and auxiliary equipment. In her role, she leads the negotiation, evaluation, and award of complex contracts under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, ensuring compliance, cost-effectiveness, and mission readiness. Her work directly supports the development and sustainment of advanced aviation systems, coordinating with engineering, legal, and logistics teams to align contractual terms with operational requirements. She typically handles sole-source and competitive acquisitions for high-precision, technically demanding components used in military and civil aviation platforms. Johnson’s contractor relationships are centered on manufacturers and suppliers specializing in aerospace subsystems, including firms engaged in the design, testing, and certification of flight-critical parts. While no single contractor dominates her portfolio, she consistently engages with Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers possessing AS9100 certification and robust quality management systems. Her negotiation approach emphasizes technical validation, supply chain resilience, and performance-based contracting, fostering long-term partnerships grounded in reliability and regulatory adherence. Johnson’s procurement activity reflects a strong preference for open competition, with 100% of her acquisitions classified as “No Set-Aside.” This indicates a focus on technical merit and capability over socioeconomic preferences, aligning with mission-critical requirements where specialized expertise and certified manufacturing capabilities take precedence over socioeconomic targeting. While small business participation is not a primary driver of her award strategy, she remains compliant with all federal requirements and evaluates small business offers on equal footing when they meet technical thresholds. Her primary industry focus is NAICS 336413—Other Aircraft Parts and Auxiliary Equipment Manufacturing—where she procures flight control actuators, avionics housings, hydraulic components, and other non-engine airframe subsystems. Her technical domain expertise includes understanding of FAA and DoD certification standards, material specifications, and production traceability requirements essential to aviation safety and airworthiness.
