SK2 TYRONE JOHNSON

Sk2 Tyrone Johnson serves as a key procurement professional within the U.S. Coast Guard’s Sflc Procurement Branch 3 (70Z040), responsible for managing acquisitions that sustain and modernize the Coast Guard’s maritime fleet and operational infrastructure. His work centers on shipbuilding, repair, and maintenance contracts critical to vessel lifecycle management, ensuring operational readiness through timely procurement of industrial systems, marine equipment, and specialized fabrication services. He handles complex, technical solicitations under FAR Part 13 and Part 15, often coordinating with engineering and logistics teams to align acquisition strategy with mission-critical readiness goals. Johnson maintains consistent working relationships with a core group of specialized vendors, including PHILADELPHIA ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT CO, JDCI ENTERPRISES, INC., ALS SERVICES USA, CORP., CABRAS MARINE CORPORATION, and BAY MARINE BOATWORKS, INC. These partnerships reflect a preference for niche suppliers with proven expertise in marine electrical systems, vessel repair, and industrial valve fabrication. His contracting approach emphasizes long-term vendor collaboration, performance-based outcomes, and technical compliance with Coast Guard maritime standards. His procurement portfolio is overwhelmingly oriented toward small business participation, with 95.9% of awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deep institutional commitment to empowering small, domestically owned firms, particularly those with maritime or industrial manufacturing capabilities. He rarely utilizes set-asides for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs individually, instead favoring broad small business eligibility to maximize competition and innovation among qualified vendors. Johnson’s primary NAICS focus includes Industrial Valve Manufacturing (332911), Ship Building and Repairing (336611), and Industrial Supplies Merchant Wholesaling (423840), indicating deep expertise in procuring critical components for vessel propulsion, control systems, and marine supply chains. His technical domain centers on the integration of fabricated metal products, marine-grade electrical systems, and industrial equipment essential to the operational endurance of Coast Guard cutters and support infrastructure.
