Robert A Johnson

Robert A. Johnson serves as a Contracting Officer within the Network Contract Office 23 (36C263) of the Department of Veterans Affairs, where he plays a pivotal role in securing critical medical equipment, surgical supplies, and facility infrastructure essential to VA healthcare delivery. His acquisitions directly support the operational readiness of VA medical centers nationwide, ensuring veterans receive access to advanced diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical technologies. He routinely manages complex procurements under the Federal Acquisition Regulation, with a primary focus on medical manufacturing and clinical support services, often utilizing indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) and blanket purchase agreements to streamline sourcing and maintain supply chain resilience. Johnson maintains consistent procurement relationships with key vendors including Abbott Laboratories Inc., BZ Construction and Development LLC, Highlands Enterprises LLC, Primary Care Solutions Inc., and Pedersen & Rangel. These partnerships reflect a blend of large-scale medical device manufacturers, specialized construction firms, and healthcare service providers, indicating a balanced approach to sourcing both high-tech clinical equipment and facility-modernization services. His contracting patterns suggest a preference for established, reliable suppliers with proven track records in federal healthcare environments. His set-aside preferences are overwhelmingly dominated by unrestricted acquisitions, with only 3% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting minimal use of 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This pattern indicates a primary emphasis on technical capability and supply chain reliability over socioeconomic targeting, though small business participation is not excluded. The NAICS focus is heavily concentrated in 339113—Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing—accounting for nearly 78% of his portfolio, underscoring deep expertise in procuring sterile surgical kits, implantable devices, and specialized medical instruments. Secondary areas include home health care services and analytical laboratory instrumentation, revealing a technical domain grounded in clinical supply chain management and diagnostic technology acquisition.
