Sharon D. Johnson

Sharon D. Johnson serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of professional, scientific, and technical service acquisitions critical to national security operations, including systems engineering, cybersecurity, and research and development support. Her work ensures compliance with federal acquisition regulations while aligning procurements with the agency’s mission to maintain operational readiness and technological integrity. She routinely handles complex, performance-based contracts for IT modernization, analytical services, and technical consulting, often requiring specialized expertise in federal procurement law and contract administration. While specific contractor names are not available, Sharon collaborates with a diverse pool of vendors, including large primes, mid-tier firms, and small businesses, primarily engaged in delivering custom software development, systems integration, and scientific consulting services. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for competitive, open-market solicitations, with a strong emphasis on technical merit and past performance evaluation. She maintains a professional, transparent contracting process that prioritizes accountability and mission alignment over vendor size or affiliation. Sharon’s set-aside preferences indicate a balanced approach to socioeconomic contracting: 81.3% of her acquisitions are conducted as unrestricted competitions, while 12.5% are competitively awarded under the 8(a) program, and 6.3% are set aside for total small businesses under FAR 19.5. This demonstrates a deliberate, compliant commitment to small business participation without compromising mission-critical requirements. Her approach supports broader DHS goals of fostering innovation through diverse vendor engagement while maintaining fiscal responsibility. Her primary NAICS focus areas include Custom Computer Programming Services (541511) and Other Scientific and Technical Consulting Services (541690), reflecting her specialization in software development, cybersecurity solutions, and engineering support services. She frequently procures services related to mission-critical systems, data analytics, and technical advisory support, requiring deep domain knowledge in federal IT infrastructure and secure systems engineering environments.
