Ashley C. Goodman

Ashley C. Goodman serves as a Contracting Specialist within the FA3300 42 Cons Cc unit of the Department of the Air Force, supporting Air University’s mission to modernize military education and training infrastructure. In this role, she manages the full lifecycle of procurement actions for technical, educational, and facility-related acquisitions, ensuring compliance with FAR and DFARS requirements. Her portfolio includes complex procurements for immersive simulation systems, advanced audiovisual command and control equipment, and mission-critical infrastructure upgrades. She collaborates closely with technical stakeholders to translate operational needs into solicitation requirements, emphasizing performance-based outcomes and innovative solutions that enhance training readiness across Air Force installations. While specific contractor relationships are not currently available in the dataset, Goodman’s procurement approach reflects a balanced engagement with both large-scale technical vendors and small business innovators. She fosters collaborative vendor partnerships grounded in transparency, competitive bidding, and performance accountability, ensuring access to cutting-edge technologies while maintaining fiscal responsibility and regulatory integrity. Her working patterns suggest a preference for structured, well-documented acquisition strategies that prioritize technical merit and long-term sustainment. Goodman demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with approximately one-third of her acquisitions structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a deliberate effort to expand opportunities for small businesses in high-technology sectors, though no set-asides are currently designated for 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB firms. Her contracting patterns align with broader Air Force initiatives to broaden the supplier base and promote innovation through socioeconomic diversity. Her primary NAICS focus areas—333923 (overhead crane and monorail systems), 334419 (other electronic component manufacturing), and 325413 (in-vitro diagnostic substance manufacturing)—reveal a unique blend of industrial, electronic, and biomedical procurement expertise. These categories suggest she handles specialized equipment for training environments, including simulation hardware, embedded electronics, and diagnostic systems used in medical readiness training, demonstrating deep technical fluency across diverse engineering domains.
