Rebecca Johnson

Rebecca Johnson serves as a Procurement and Property Specialist at FPC Alderson, a facility within the Federal Bureau of Prisons under the Department of Justice. In this role, she manages the acquisition of essential goods and services critical to the safe, secure, and humane operation of the institution, with a primary emphasis on food service supply chains, dietary compliance, and operational continuity. Her responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts in accordance with federal procurement regulations, ensuring that all acquisitions align with nutritional standards and institutional needs. She routinely handles commercial item acquisitions under FAR Part 12 and manages both direct and indirect procurement activities supporting daily institutional functions. Rebecca works closely with a network of certified small business vendors, particularly those specializing in grocery distribution and food manufacturing. Her contracting patterns reflect a strong preference for partnerships with small, locally rooted suppliers who can deliver consistent, high-quality perishable and non-perishable goods under strict federal food safety protocols. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, her procurement approach emphasizes reliability, compliance, and responsiveness, fostering long-term vendor relationships built on trust and regulatory adherence. She maintains a 100% Small Business Set-Aside policy across all eligible procurements, fully embracing the intent of FAR 19.5 to maximize economic opportunity for small businesses. Her contracting strategy prioritizes inclusive participation, with no preference for large or prime contractors, and actively encourages participation from HUBZone, 8(a), and women-owned small businesses within the grocery and food service sectors. Her primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 424410 (General Line Grocery Merchant Wholesalers) and 424490 (Other Grocery and Related Products Merchant Wholesalers), reflecting her expertise in sourcing staple food items, dietary supplements, and specialty nutritional products. She also manages acquisitions in coffee and tea manufacturing (311920) and educational support services (611710), demonstrating a nuanced understanding of institutional needs beyond basic subsistence, including vocational training and wellness programs for incarcerated populations.
