Tatjana T. Johnson

Tatjana T. Johnson serves as a key procurement professional within the 436 Contracting Squadron, Department of the Air Force, supporting the operational readiness of Air Force installations through the acquisition of critical facility maintenance, infrastructure, and industrial services. She manages a diverse portfolio of contracts aligned with the squadron’s mission to sustain aircraft support systems, hangar infrastructure, and security environments. Her work centers on complex service-based acquisitions requiring technical oversight, compliance with FAR Part 36 construction standards, and coordination with civil engineering and logistics teams to ensure mission-critical facility functionality. Johnson maintains a consistent working relationship with OSTRUM PAINTING & SANDBLASTING, INC, a primary vendor for specialized surface preparation and protective coating services essential to airfield and hangar preservation. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for established small business partners capable of delivering high-quality, compliant industrial maintenance solutions under time-sensitive operational constraints. She fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in performance reliability and regulatory adherence, often leveraging task order contracts to streamline recurring facility support needs. Her procurement strategy prioritizes small business participation, with nearly 70% of awards designated as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5, reflecting a strong institutional commitment to socioeconomic contracting goals. She routinely utilizes small business set-asides, with modest but consistent allocations to women-owned and service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses, aligning with Air Force directives to broaden vendor diversity and enhance competition. Johnson’s technical focus centers on NAICS codes 811310 for industrial machinery maintenance and 561790 for building services, with additional emphasis on highway and bridge construction (237310) and specialized coating and surface treatment services. Her expertise lies in procuring complex, safety-sensitive facility support services that require precise compliance with military environmental and safety standards, ensuring installations remain mission-ready through proactive infrastructure sustainment.
