Rosa Johnson

Rosa W. Johnson serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA2823 AFTC PZIO under the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex acquisitions for advanced airborne and ground-based sensing, communication, and test instrumentation systems. Her responsibilities include managing the full lifecycle of procurement actions—from market research and solicitation development to contract award and administration—for mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare, and signal intelligence platforms. She ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning acquisitions with the agency’s strategic priorities in modernizing test and evaluation infrastructure and enhancing electromagnetic compatibility and precision measurement capabilities. Johnson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of contractors including TOM HAMMONDS ENTERPRISES, LLC, STREET LEGAL INDUSTRIES, INC, SPEEGLE CONSTRUCTION, INC, DETECT INC, and THE CONTROLS COMPANY, LLC. These partnerships reflect a preference for established vendors with demonstrated technical proficiency in specialized instrumentation, ruggedized electronics, and mission-specific test equipment. Her contracting approach emphasizes performance-based outcomes and technical validation, fostering long-term vendor collaboration grounded in reliability and compliance. Her procurement patterns show a strong inclination toward open competition, with 90.9% of awards issued without set-asides, reflecting the highly specialized nature of the systems procured. However, she maintains a 9.1% commitment to total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating targeted support for capable small businesses capable of meeting rigorous technical requirements. Johnson’s primary procurement focus lies in NAICS 339113 (Surgical Appliance and Supplies Manufacturing) and 339112 (Surgical and Medical Instrument Manufacturing), which, despite their apparent medical alignment, are leveraged for high-precision sensor and signal conditioning components used in aerospace test systems. She also procures related equipment under NAICS 334510 and 335311, indicating deep technical expertise in electromedical and power transformation technologies applied to defense-grade instrumentation.
