Betty A Goddard

Betty A. Goddard serves as a Contract Specialist at the Naval Air Warfare Center Air Division, where she plays a pivotal role in executing complex procurements for advanced naval aviation systems. Her responsibilities encompass the full lifecycle management of contracts for mission-critical avionics, electronic warfare subsystems, and airborne sensor technologies, ensuring alignment with the Navy’s strategic priorities in air superiority and fleet readiness. She specializes in securing technical solutions that integrate next-generation communications, navigation, and test instrumentation into next-generation aircraft platforms, often navigating high-stakes, mission-essential acquisitions under FAR and DFARS frameworks. Goddard maintains consistent working relationships with industry leaders including SABRE SYSTEMS, LLC, THE BOEING COMPANY, SCIENCE APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION, SYSTEMS PLANNING AND ANALYSIS, INC., and ONTIC ENGINEERING & MANUFACTURING, INC. These partnerships reflect a blend of prime contractor engagement with established defense aerospace firms and specialized engineering vendors capable of delivering high-integrity, ruggedized electronic systems. Her procurement approach emphasizes technical rigor, performance-based contracting, and risk mitigation for mission-critical deliverables. While the majority of her acquisitions are unrestricted, Goddard demonstrates a strong commitment to small business participation, with nearly 30% of her portfolio structured as Total Small Business Set-Asides under FAR 19.5. She occasionally supports Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-asides, reflecting a deliberate effort to broaden the industrial base and foster innovation among qualified niche suppliers. Her procurement focus centers on NAICS 334515 (instrument manufacturing for electrical signal testing) and 334511 (aeronautical system and instrument manufacturing), reflecting deep expertise in avionics test equipment, radar signal processing, and mission computer subsystems. She routinely sources specialized electronic components, communications hardware, and embedded systems critical to modern naval aircraft sustainment and modernization initiatives.
