Shannon Johnson

Shannon Johnson serves as a key procurement lead within the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard IMF, supporting the Department of the Navy’s mission to sustain fleet readiness through industrial maintenance and shipyard modernization. Responsible for managing complex acquisition programs, Johnson oversees the solicitation and award of contracts for mission-critical components and industrial support services essential to naval vessel lifecycle management. Their work directly enables the repair, overhaul, and modernization of nuclear and conventional naval platforms, with a focus on precision-engineered systems requiring stringent compliance with naval specifications and defense logistics standards. Johnson maintains established relationships with a core group of industrial suppliers, including LAKE UNION DRYDOCK CO for drydock and ship repair services, SUNBELT RENTALS, INC for specialized equipment leasing, FLUKE ELECTRONICS CORP for calibration and diagnostic instrumentation, PAULEY RODINE INC for mechanical and fluid system components, and MOTIVE POWER MARINE, LLC for propulsion and marine power systems. These partnerships reflect a preference for vendors with proven naval experience, technical certification, and the capacity to meet rigorous quality assurance and delivery timelines in a high-stakes shipyard environment. A significant portion of Johnson’s portfolio supports small business participation, with 40% of awards structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding vendor diversity within the defense industrial base. While no specific socioeconomic set-asides dominate, the consistent use of small business set-asides underscores a strategic effort to cultivate capable niche suppliers aligned with shipyard operational needs. Johnson’s procurement focus centers on NAICS 339991 (gaskets, packings, and sealing devices), 334517 (irradiation apparatus), and 332911 (industrial valves), reflecting deep technical engagement with mission-critical components used in nuclear systems, fluid control, and radiation shielding. Additional activity in plastics and rubber hose manufacturing supports ancillary systems requiring corrosion resistance and thermal stability. Their expertise lies in acquiring highly specialized industrial hardware that meets Navy technical manuals and defense supply chain integrity standards.
