Sharon D. Johnson

Sharon D. Johnson serves as a Contract Specialist within the SFLC Procurement Branch 3 (00040) of the U.S. Coast Guard, part of the Department of Homeland Security. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions critical to sustaining and modernizing the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet, including ship repair, maintenance, and vessel system integration. Her acquisitions focus on mission-critical infrastructure support, ensuring operational readiness through timely and compliant contracting for specialized marine and industrial equipment. She executes negotiated procurements under FAR and Coast Guard-specific guidelines, often handling complex service and supply contracts requiring technical oversight and lifecycle cost analysis. Johnson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized contractors including Philadelphia Electrical Equipment Co., JDCI Enterprises, Inc., ALS Services USA, Corp., Cabras Marine Corporation, and Bay Marine Boatworks, Inc. These vendors provide niche marine engineering, electrical systems, and vessel maintenance services tailored to Coast Guard operational requirements. Her procurement approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based contracting, and technical validation to ensure compliance with maritime safety and durability standards. Notably, Johnson’s portfolio reflects a 100% no set-aside preference, indicating a strategic focus on full and open competition rather than socioeconomic set-asides. This pattern suggests an emphasis on technical capability, proven performance, and mission-critical delivery over socioeconomic targeting, aligning with the Coast Guard’s need for specialized, high-reliability contractors in a narrow industrial domain. Her primary procurement activity is concentrated under NAICS 333912 (Air and Gas Compressor Manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in procuring high-pressure pneumatic, hydraulic, and propulsion system components essential to cutter operations. She specializes in acquiring engineered marine systems requiring stringent environmental and safety certifications, demonstrating advanced knowledge of naval architecture support technologies and industrial equipment standards.
