His responsibilities include soliciting, evaluating, and awarding contracts for security and detention support services, ensuring strict adherence to federal acquisition regulations and DHS compliance standards. Golway specializes in performance-based acquisitions for personnel-intensive services, with a focus on maintaining secure, lawful, and humane detention environments through reliable contractor performance and contract oversight. Golway maintains consistent working relationships with key contractors including B.I. Incorporated, Acentra Health LLC, and Ardent Group, LLC, all of which provide specialized detention support services. His procurement approach emphasizes performance metrics, quality assurance, and continuous monitoring to ensure contractor compliance with federal detention standards. He fosters long-term vendor partnerships grounded in accountability, transparency, and adherence to operational protocols, ensuring seamless integration of contractor personnel into federal detention operations.

His contracting decisions consistently prioritize 8(a) eligibility, aligning with broader DHS objectives to expand opportunities for underserved entrepreneurs in high-demand security services. His procurement focus is exclusively centered on NAICS 561612—Security Guards and Patrol Services—encompassing armed and unarmed detention facility security, detainee transportation support, and facility monitoring.
