Shaunta M. Johnson

Shaunta M. Johnson serves as a Contract Specialist within the FA4830 23 Cons Cc unit of the Department of the Air Force, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions to sustain airborne readiness and operational infrastructure. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for advanced communications systems, aviation safety equipment, and full-mission training solutions, ensuring alignment with Air Force operational requirements and federal acquisition regulations. She interfaces with technical stakeholders to translate mission needs into solicitation requirements and oversees competitive award processes to deliver timely, compliant, and cost-effective capabilities to frontline units. Johnson maintains established working relationships with a core group of contractors including ARDMORE CONSULTING GROUP, INC, MACHINE TOOL MARKETING INC, GOVAGE, INC., DARK WATERS ENTERPRISING, LLC, and TESTFORCE USA, INC., reflecting a balanced mix of specialized service providers and technical solution vendors. Her procurement approach emphasizes performance-based contracting and clear statement of work development, fostering collaborative partnerships with vendors capable of delivering high-reliability systems under stringent operational conditions. While the majority of her acquisitions are conducted as open competitions with no set-aside (75%), she consistently allocates 25% of her portfolio to Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5, demonstrating a deliberate commitment to expanding small business participation across diverse sectors. Her socioeconomic contracting patterns reflect a strategic balance between broad competition and targeted opportunities for qualified small businesses. Her primary NAICS focus areas—813110, 561621, 812331, and 237310—reveal an unconventional yet mission-aligned procurement profile encompassing religious organization support services, security systems, linen supply, and civil construction. These categories support base operations and infrastructure sustainment, indicating her expertise in managing non-traditional but essential contracts that underpin the functional readiness of Air Force installations.
