Administrative Coordinator Tia Godin

Administrative Coordinator Tia Godin supports the procurement operations at Southwest Florida International Airport, playing a critical role in facilitating the acquisition of food service and hospitality-related contracts essential to passenger experience and terminal operations. While not a contracting officer, she acts as a key liaison between operational stakeholders and vendor contractors, ensuring alignment between service delivery requirements and federal procurement compliance. Her responsibilities include coordinating bid solicitations, managing contract documentation, and supporting the evaluation process for concessionaires and food service providers. She is instrumental in maintaining the airport’s commitment to seamless, high-quality dining and retail services across terminals and airside facilities. Tia Godin works closely with a network of national and regional food service contractors, including full-service concessions operators, specialty餐饮 vendors, and on-site culinary providers. Her procurement patterns reflect a preference for established vendors with proven track records in airport environments, though she actively supports vendor onboarding and contract transitions to ensure continuity of service. Her working relationships are characterized by collaboration, transparency, and adherence to standardized procurement protocols, ensuring compliance with FAA and state aviation regulations. Godin’s procurement activities are exclusively non-set-aside, with 100% of acquisitions conducted under open competition. This reflects the airport’s operational need for scalable, high-capacity service providers capable of meeting peak passenger demand without socioeconomic restrictions. While small business participation is not formally incentivized in her portfolio, she ensures all vendors—regardless of size—are evaluated on performance, safety compliance, and customer service metrics. Her primary focus lies in NAICS 722310, Food Service Contractors, encompassing everything from full-service restaurants and quick-service outlets to mobile catering and airport-specific concession management. She specializes in procuring turnkey food and beverage operations that integrate with terminal design, health code compliance, and sustainability initiatives, demonstrating deep domain expertise in aviation hospitality contracting.
