Riley Johnson

Riley Johnson supports the Naval Undersea Warfare Center in executing critical procurement activities aligned with the U.S. Navy’s undersea warfare modernization priorities. While their formal title is not specified, they play a key role in managing acquisitions for advanced undersea systems, including sonar, navigation, guidance, and ruggedized signal processing platforms. Their work directly enables the sustainment and technological advancement of submarine and unmanned undersea vehicle capabilities, ensuring operational readiness through timely contract award and oversight of high-precision engineering services and specialized hardware. Johnson maintains consistent working relationships with a select group of contractors, including Ordnance Technology Service, Inc., Boh Environmental, L.L.C., Aerospace & Commercial Technologies, LLC, McKenzie Construction & Site Development LLC, and EOS of North America, Inc. These partnerships reflect a focus on niche technical providers with expertise in electronic warfare systems, environmental compliance for naval facilities, precision manufacturing, and advanced sensor integration. The contracting pattern suggests a preference for established vendors with proven capabilities in defense-critical domains, often requiring security clearances and compliance with military specifications. Set-aside preferences indicate a strong emphasis on open competition, with 81.8% of awards issued without socioeconomic set-asides, while 18.2% are designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a balanced approach—prioritizing technical merit and mission need while still actively supporting small business participation where feasible and appropriate. Johnson’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 334511 (search and navigation systems) and 511210 (software publishing), with significant activity in 332812 (metal coating and engraving) and 334513 (industrial process instrumentation). These categories underscore expertise in procuring ruggedized electronic systems, embedded software, sensor assemblies, and specialized manufacturing services essential to undersea warfare platforms. Their technical domain expertise lies at the intersection of defense electronics, signal processing, and mission-critical infrastructure.
