Selinda D. Johnson

Selinda D. Johnson serves as a key procurement professional within DLA Energy, supporting the Department of Defense’s mission to ensure uninterrupted energy logistics for global military operations. She manages contract actions focused on the warehousing, storage, and distribution of petroleum-based fuels and related energy infrastructure, ensuring operational readiness across all service branches. Her acquisitions are strategically aligned with the agency’s mandate to maintain resilient fuel supply chains, emphasizing timely delivery, security, and logistical efficiency in austere and high-demand environments. She routinely handles performance-based service contracts under FAR Part 12 and FAR Part 37, with a strong emphasis on mission-critical energy support. Johnson’s contracting portfolio is dominated by long-term partnerships with Qatar Fuel (WOQOD) and United Capital Investments Group, both of which provide specialized fuel logistics and storage solutions critical to forward-deployed operations. These relationships reflect a preference for established international and domestic vendors with proven capacity to meet DoD’s stringent quality, safety, and compliance standards. Her procurement approach prioritizes reliability and scalability, often leveraging indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) mechanisms to ensure responsive fuel availability across dynamic operational theaters. A defining feature of Johnson’s contracting strategy is her strong commitment to small business participation, with 75% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small businesses in the energy logistics sector, fostering innovation and competition while maintaining mission integrity. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns consistently prioritize small business eligibility, aligning with DLA’s broader goals to enhance vendor diversity and local economic resilience. Her primary technical focus lies in NAICS 493190 (Other Warehousing and Storage), where she procures specialized fuel storage facilities, bulk transfer systems, and inventory management services. This specialization underscores her expertise in the unique demands of military-grade energy logistics, including hazardous material handling, security protocols, and just-in-time delivery under austere conditions.
