Barbara M Goen

Barbara M. Goen serves as a Contract Specialist responsible for managing the full lifecycle of federal acquisitions, from requirements development through contract award and administration. Her work supports mission-critical services within the health and professional services sectors, ensuring compliance with FAR regulations and promoting efficient, transparent procurement practices. She typically handles competitive solicitations for professional, scientific, and technical services, with a focus on ambulatory and behavioral health support contracts. Her role is central to translating agency needs into enforceable contractual obligations that deliver high-quality outcomes while upholding fiscal responsibility and regulatory integrity. While specific contractor names are not available, Goen maintains relationships with a diverse pool of vendors, including small businesses and general service providers offering clinical, administrative, and operational support. Her contracting patterns reflect a preference for open competition, with the majority of awards issued under unrestricted solicitation. She engages with vendors across multiple tiers, fostering collaboration through clear solicitation language, timely evaluations, and consistent post-award oversight to ensure performance alignment with contract objectives. Goen demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 19% of her awards designated as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. Although she primarily issues awards without set-aside restrictions—reflecting an 81% preference for open competition—her consistent use of small business set-asides signals active support for socioeconomic goals. She does not appear to prioritize specialized set-asides such as 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB, instead favoring broad-based small business eligibility under the general category. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 541990 (All Other Professional, Scientific, and Technical Services), followed by health-related categories including 621399 (Miscellaneous Health Practitioners) and 623220 (Residential Mental Health and Substance Abuse Facilities). She regularly procures clinical support services, behavioral health program management, outpatient care coordination, and administrative consulting services, demonstrating deep familiarity with the operational needs of outpatient and residential health service providers.
